Originally, it was planned to withdraw the main force and headquarters to the area of Guangyang City to build a defensive line, but now, it was all disrupted by the great victory of the 259th Division.

He Jingqing sat on the big leather chair, picked up a finger-thick cigar in his hand, took a deep breath, and spit out a big smoke ring, his eyes were a little confused.

He Jingqing was born as a civilian, and with his military exploits, as long as his background was a little better, he was fully qualified to become an imperial marshal. His gaze wandered over the three of Lei Peng, Ye Su, and Su Mu, and asked, "Tell me what you think, what should we do next?"

The people who can sit here are not mortals, they are all hob meat that has been mixed up for a long time, and naturally no one will easily express their opinions, even if everyone crackles the abacus.

Lei Peng looked at Ye Su, and Ye Su looked at Su Mu. Three mountains, in terms of status and strength, Su Mu is still a few points weaker. Although Ye Su was the chief of the general staff, he was originally the deputy commander of the Zhennan Army, and the three divisions of the entire provisional First Army were all reorganized from the original Zhennan Army, and their overall strength was not weaker than the newly organized Second Army supported by the Lei family.

Only the new Fourth Division of the New Second Army is the real descendant of the Lei family, and the other two divisions are also improvised patchwork. As for the newly formed army represented by Su Mu, they came from the major nobles, with different combat strengths, and they fought separately. Su Mu was the representative of the launch on the surface, but when his decision affected the interests of other nobles, he couldn't dispatch those old soldiers at all.

Lei Peng and Ye Su both sat with their arms crossed, their eyes narrowed at the same time, and they looked like they couldn't move. The current status of these two people is also a little awkward, Lei Peng is the newly appointed deputy commander of the dispatch army, and he is the second in command, but his military rank is still lieutenant general.

In the imperial sequence, major generals are generally division commanders or elite brigade commanders, and of course, the rank of commander of special operations arms is not included. Like Ross, although he is only an assault battalion commander in the Roland Empire, he is also a major general, and he is more bullish than the division commander of the same rank, and it is similar in the Tang Empire.

The commander-level is all lieutenant generals, even if they are the commanders of the miscellaneous armies, they do not have the rank of major general, and there are some elite regiments with the rank of general. At the level of deputy commander, all of them are generals, but Lei Peng, the deputy commander of the group army, was the first to hold the rank of lieutenant general.

Ye Su is the third in command of the dispatch army, but he is a veteran general and used to be Lei Peng's boss. It stands to reason that Lei Peng is ranked higher than Ye Su, but his military rank is one order lower, so both of them are a little embarrassed.

Everyone was silent for a quarter of an hour, but He Jingqing was still not in a hurry, and his eyes kept patrolling. Ye Su, the old fox, opened his voice and said, "I see that the Soviet army commander is sitting there and twisting, and it seems that he has an opinion to express. We are all soldiers, so we don't need to be so cowardly, just say what we have to say. ”

Su Mu's hand was touching the teacup in front of him, and after listening to Ye Su's words, he scolded in his heart: "I'm sorry for your uncle." ”

But Ye Su is the boss after all, and at this time, Lei Peng and He Jingqing's eyes both looked over, and Lei Peng said with a smile: "If Commander Su has anything to say, just say it quickly." ”

He Jingqing spit out a puff of cigarette, wrung out the butt of the cigarette on the ashtray, and said lightly: "Say it." ”

The three bosses all asked him to say, Su Mu couldn't help but say it at this time, he took a sip of tea, quickly pondered the attitude of the three parties, coughed lightly, and said: "Now I still don't know the movements of the demon army, can you let Liu Jun's intelligence department introduce the latest developments first." ”

Liu Can, who was sitting in the far corner of the sand table, raised his head violently, first glanced at Lei Peng, and immediately turned his gaze to Su Mu, and also greeted Su Mu's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. It didn't have much to do with him, but now the ball was kicked at his feet. However, as a military intelligence officer, it is also necessary for him to report on the latest developments between us and the enemy, and there is no shirk.

Liu Can reported the latest military information: "Although the Monroe Army has suffered heavy losses, it still retains about half of its strength, they have retreated to Fengxing City to rest, the Jones Department stationed in Leshui City has been stationed in Wushan City, and the other division has come out of the Qingshi Valley and is camping in Huangmaoling, which is only ten miles away from our first line of defense, Shaweiqiu Pass. ”

In addition, Carter Holkin, the commander of the Roland Empire, was very angry at the defeat of the Monroe Tribe, and sent Cowe Bauer as the commander-in-chief of the front, and increased his army by 30,000 troops, and another 50,000 servants, a total of 80,000 troops were rushing towards the Dusk Desert. ”

"Cowe Bauer, it seems that Carter is furious that this notorious man Tu should be the commander-in-chief. He Jingqing was also a little surprised.

Cowe Bauer, a fierce general of the Roland Empire, his greatest hobby is the view of building Beijing. Wherever he led his army, there was no grass, and for him, there was no such thing as surrendering prisoners. Victory is life, defeat is death.

When Su Mu heard that Cowe Bauer was coming, he already had a plan in his heart, and he still couldn't make military merits or take risks.

"The strategy of the General Staff is still very strategic. To the south of Lorraine Mountain, because of the high and densely forested Lorraine Mountain, the three counties of Kaesong, Rongseong and Lushan Castle here are hilly areas, and there is no danger to defend. Ben will think that we should retreat to the Lorraine Mountains first, and the natural dangers of the Lorraine Mountains will be defended. Su Mu talked eloquently, his strategic ideas still have insights, did not complete the copying of the strategic layout of the General Staff Headquarters, but fully based on the current situation, combined with the opinions of the General Staff Headquarters, and made a middle line.

Lei Peng muttered, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "This surnamed Su is not a rice bucket." ”

After Su Mu finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, was very satisfied with his performance just now, and continued: "Our newly formed army is all some miscellaneous cards, improvised patchwork, and it will take a while to run in to really form combat power. This time, it is better to build a defense in the Lorraine Mountains, and it is better for us to form a new army. We also take this opportunity to carry out the run-in and reorganization. ”

Ye Su asked, "Then who will defend Kaicheng, Rongcheng and Lushan City, or just give up?"

Su Mu smiled, did not speak, and looked at He Jingqing, Ye Su's question should be decided by the supreme officer. Lei Peng also looked at He Jingqing.

He Jingqing knocked lightly on the table and said, "Everyone agrees with the strategic deployment of the Soviet commander?"

Ye Su and Lei Peng both nodded.

He Jingqing said: "Before the meeting, I had already telegraphed to the General Staff Staff, and the General Staff replied that the established strategy would remain unchanged, and that we must retreat to the area of Guangyang City north of the Lorraine Mountains to deploy defenses, and those who violate the order will be dealt with in accordance with military law. ”
