"How so? How so? ”

Zhang Li began to pace back and forth in the courtyard, and his brain became more and more insufficient.

He thinks he is relatively smart, and he is also a good hand in war, although he has taken a back seat now, but after all, he has not been retired for a long time, and he knows many things well.

It's just that I can't see through it no matter how I look at it now.

"You know that this is the army, you know the price of lying, right?" After thinking about it, Zhang Li had to look at the messenger again.

"Sir, there is no lie in your humble position, if you lie to the sky, the sky will thunder!"

The messenger had no choice but to stiffen his neck and resolutely say.

Seeing this, Zhang Li also frowned, which was strange.

If it is a dedication, people don't need to deliberately disguise a set of military uniforms to deceive people, who doesn't know who these days, even if they can hide it for a while, can they still hide it for a lifetime?

What's more, once the fire is fired now, the biggest suspect is the Feng system, and the other party can't do this, what he does is to take off his pants and fart.

Adjutant Ren hurriedly said at this time, "Sir, the top priority now is not to think about what kind of people this is, but to set up a defense line in Chongli and Zhangbei as soon as possible."

We only have the strength of one security battalion in Guyuan County.

If the information is correct, with such firepower, the city will be broken in three days at most! ”

"That's right! Yeah! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Li nodded suddenly, "I'm also dizzy, Lao Tzu doesn't care who he is, since he dares to come, then fight with them."

I really thought we were bullies. ”

"Exactly!" Adjutant Ren nodded.

"Sir, this Guyuan is one hundred and fifty kilometers away from us, and if the situation is a little worse, the enemy will take Guyuan in two days.

Based on the time wasted when the messengers returned, we had at most more than a day to prepare.

Chongli and Zhangbei are the only places to reach Zhangjiakou, and the distance between the two places is only 50 miles.

We still have plenty of time, and the two places have their own defensive lines, and as long as the personnel are stationed, they will soon be able to form an effective combat force for sniping. ”

Listening to this, Zhang Li nodded, and soon the entire Metropolitan Mansion quickly became busy.

In just half an hour, in the command room of the Metropolitan Government, all staff officers and middle- and high-ranking officers at all levels were already present.

These officers and staff officers may have some unknown hobbies on weekdays, and they are not very active in their work in peacetime, but once they are in a wartime state, their efficiency is still very high.

This is not a temporary command post, and naturally there is a corresponding sand table and a complete map.

At this time, several staff officers were planning the map, the plan was very brief, considering the urgency of the situation, this time it was only a defensive operation, first to block the enemy's rapid offensive.

Zhang Li sat on the side and nodded from time to time, and also opened his mouth to say a few words.

In just an hour, the operational meeting was over.

Looking at the several officers who had already saluted and walked out of the headquarters, Zhang Li rubbed his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had ordered his four infantry regiments, a security regiment and an artillery battalion to be stationed in the two places.

At the same time, a cavalry regiment was ordered to act as a temporary baggage escort to assist the army in transporting ammunition.

After all, the situation is urgent, and it is difficult to transport enough ammunition to the front line at one time with the capacity of the logistics forces alone.

Rao is like this, he is still a little uneasy in his heart, he can't say it, he always feels that something is wrong.

It's so sudden!

It's as if such an enemy army suddenly popped out of thin air, which is really unbearable.

"Sir, from a humble point of view, since the enemy has such firepower and the size of the cavalry of no less than 10,000 people, there must be supporting logistics troops and infantry units.

And it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy has no follow-up troops, once it is really Zhang Shaoshuai who brazenly attacks regardless of face.

We still have to plan early, and we must call Shangfeng as soon as possible to ask for reinforcements! ”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, the other party's name was He Liang, and he was the chief of staff under his account.

Although in this case, it is imperative to contact Shangfeng as soon as possible.

But when it came to this matter, Zhang Li hesitated.

After thinking about it, he shook his head.

"Let's take a look first, Dashuai has not been making good progress recently, although he is still victorious, but he has stopped at the front line of Longhai.

At the moment, we don't expect to share the worries of the handsome, how can we make the handsome people more troubled because of this? ”

It's a typical delusion, it's okay, it's all a minor problem, I can fix it!

Sometimes, the boss does like the subordinates who don't bother them too often.

Hearing this, Staff Officer He thought about it carefully, but did not continue to persuade.

Let's take a look, normally, no matter how fast the Feng offensive is, it will not be impossible for them to find the north in just a few days.

What's more, once the other party comes over to fight the autumn breeze? Wouldn't it affect the overall situation in the South?

At this critical juncture, no one dares to guarantee whether the young marshal has received any benefits from the government and wants to put pressure on them.

"Even though the commander said this, he felt that he should still send more troops, and it was better to send a cavalry brigade as cavalry?

I feel ..... humiliation"

Chief of Staff He began to describe Zhang Li.

"This is the case, and I think it is necessary for us to use a cavalry brigade as a countermeasure, and if the enemy is defeated in our defensive line, our army can use cavalry as a sharp knife to pierce the enemy.

It would be better if you could find the enemy's artillery battalion.

With such a reinforced artillery battalion with fierce firepower, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to send another one over in a short period of time. ”

The command room was once again in a state of analysis.

Not only Chief of Staff He, but other staff officers also participated in the discussion.

Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, I was directly analyzed and discussed from four o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening.

As a last resort, Zhang Li had to ask the logistics staff to deliver the food, and they continued to discuss.

I haven't participated in the war for a long time, and everyone is still a little rusty in strategic analysis, not to mention that if we don't discuss it now, Zhang Li can't do anything.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the crowd was still discussing hotly, but at that moment they were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The person who came was a telegraph operator, and he looked anxious, but when he came in, he was a little weak when he was stared at by so many pairs of eyes from the command.

"Tight.... Tight... Urgent...."

"Bring him the telegram!"

Seeing that the telegraph operator's psychological quality was not good, Zhang Li frowned and ordered the guard to take the telegram in the other party's hand.

After taking the telegram and looking at it, it was just a glance, and Zhang Li's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.

Boom!

In the middle of the night, the telegram in his hand was slapped heavily on the desk by Zhang Li.

His chest rose and fell violently, his face was covered with a mask of pain, and one hand was covering his heart.

The staff officers and officers who watched this scene were a little confused, sir, what's wrong?

"You.... You.... This.... Where did this telegram come from? ”

Zhang Li pointed at the telegraph operator tremblingly, and the words in his mouth were almost spit out word by word.
