Chapter 389
"The whereabouts of the Commander-in-Chief are unknown. Please tell me more clearly. Was he captured or escaped?"
At this moment, Li Xinghong was most concerned about Chen Tianhua's safety.
This young master is the backbone of the entire autonomous region and is irreplaceable. If something happens to him, it means that the autonomous region will fall apart in the future and everyone will lose their support.
Also, Chen Tianhua is a general and the beloved son-in-law of the town commander Li Cunzhi. If something happens to him, as the sixth commander, he will be guilty of a big crime. He will be dismissed from the official position and the probability of being sent to a military court is small.
big.
"Lord Biaotong, I personally inspected the scene before taking office. Based on comprehensive evidence, the commander and the two adults most likely fled into the virgin forest on the left." Luo Erhu reported truthfully with a sad face.
Hearing that Chen Tianhua had escaped into the forest, Li Xinghong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was not extreme.
After escaping into the mountains and forests, relying on the young master's skill and intelligence, he would not be easily captured by the enemy.
Just as this person was relieved, the other person's nameless anger surged up from his heart.
"Damn thing!"
Li Xinghong suddenly kicked out, knocking Luo Erhu down in the hall, and shouted loudly:
"How did you become the captain of the military police brigade? Do you have to work for a living? In the hinterland of the autonomous region at Yamawangpo, a large number of enemies actually appeared and successfully ambushed our eldest young master? Where is your responsibility and where is the honor of the military?"
"Sir, the crime of despising one's position deserves to be punished by death. Please forgive me, Lord Biaotong..." Luo Erhu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
He has always been serious and responsible for his job, and he thinks that he has not neglected to take precautions. He still doesn't understand how the enemy's cavalry managed to get through and set up an ambush when they came to Hades Po.
"Here comes someone..." Li Xinghong's face turned livid in anger, and he yelled outside the camp door.
"Sir..." Four soldiers came in from outside the screen of the camp gate and asked for orders with their hands clasped in fists.
Chief of Staff Ji, who had been standing by and watching with cold eyes, saw that Li Xinghong wanted to punish Luo Erhu, so he quickly stepped forward and spoke:
"Lord Biaotong, please calm down. The military situation is very urgent now. It is important to save people first. Please order the spring training of the entire army to be suspended. They will go to Yamawangpo to gather and enter the forest to conduct a dragnet search. As for accountability, we will talk about it after the fact. Your Majesty
It is recommended that Luo Erhu be allowed to serve his crime and lead the military police brigade into the mountains and forests to search."
The so-called authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear.
Chief of Staff Ji's words were like a basin of cold water, waking up the confused Li Xinghong, and he quickly calmed down.
"Chief of Staff Ji!"
"My lord is here, please give me the order."
Li Xinghong stared and said in a deep voice:
"Immediately order in the name of the base camp that all units under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Standard Area of the New Army shall cease all spring training and enter a state of first-level combat readiness."
"Each company and platoon of the security battalion under the Biao Regiment will leave half of the troops to guard in the original jurisdiction, and the other half will quickly gather at Yama Wangpo to wait for dispatch."
"The entire assault battalion was dispatched and gathered at Yamawangpo. All departments directly under the base camp, except for the logistics and guard platoons, stayed behind. All personnel were gathered at Yamawangpo."
"With the exception of one squadron of the Luo Erhu Military Police Battalion, they stayed behind to strengthen internal investigations. If any suspicious elements were found, they were killed without mercy! The other two squadrons quickly headed to Yamawang Slope and entered the woods to search before dark."
"As commanded..."
Li Xinghong gave a series of orders, and the regulations were very clear. After the military salute, Chief of Staff Ji and Luo Erhu each took the orders and carried them out.
Later, Li Xinghong ordered the headquarters to pull out the camp from the pasture, and his subordinate staff and guards followed him to Yan Wangpo, where he set up a former enemy headquarters to dispatch troops and generals on the spot.
Li Xinghong graduated from the Tianjin Military Academy and was well versed in the art of war. He used his troops with the emphasis on speed, stability and accuracy.
This kind of thing cannot be made public for the time being, and the Meiguang Autonomous Region is tightened internally and loosened externally to prevent people's unrest and invasion of foreign enemies during special periods.
He left some security forces to guard traffic arteries, railway lines, industrial and mining enterprises and warehouses.
Under this premise, he safely advanced the headquarters headquarters to Yamawangpo.
Soon, Chief of Staff Ji drafted a written order and assigned more than ten communications soldiers under his account to deliver the urgent order to the companies under the bid-reaching regiment and the troops directly under it.
Even so, only some officers and soldiers can be ordered to arrive before dark tonight, and more than a thousand troops can be gathered before tomorrow morning.
A real large-scale search into the forest can only begin at dawn tomorrow.
It is said that Luo Erhu left the Baixian Horse Ranch, rushed back to the base camp of Huaikan Town, notified the messenger to quickly summon the 23rd Squadron of the Gendarmerie, immediately started cooking, brought some dry food, and then headed for Yamawangpo.
By the time the people and horses were assembled and brought to Yamawangpo, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, twenty-four hours after the accident.
Li Xinghong and his headquarters had arrived at Yanwangpo previously, conducted a re-examination on site, and unanimously agreed with Luo Erhu's analysis and judgment.
Chen Tianhua and Zuo Gang should escape into this forest.
The command headquarters immediately set up camp, and the headquarters of the bid regiment began work, dividing the entire virgin forest into several areas on the map, and formulating search plans and plans.
At the same time, Li Xinghong ordered his sergeants to collect the bodies of the eight sacrificed guards and ordered eight solid wood coffins from the coffin shop in the town.
Family members in the local area were notified, while those from other places were buried at the base camp on an unknown mountain in the suburbs.
This unknown mountain is now named Rongjun Mountain, which is dedicated to burying the remains of martyrs who died.
There is a monument to the martyrs on the top of the mountain and an ancestral hall at the foot of the mountain. There are tablets of the martyrs inside for the convenience of relatives and friends to commemorate.
When Luo Erhu arrived at Yanwangpo with more than 260 military police, under the arrangement of the staff department, they entered from the entrance where Chen Tianhua and Zuo Gang escaped, and then carried out a search from west to east in squad units.
They were the only first search force that entered the forest overnight, carrying torches and lanterns with great momentum.
At the Autonomous Region Guard Squadron in Meishan Town, Song Xiaoniu and Gu Zhunian were so anxious that their eyes were red and hot and they were sweating profusely after hearing that something happened to the eldest young master and Zuo Gang.
While blaming themselves for not fulfilling their duties as guards, they rushed to Yamawang Slope.
On the road, I met Xu Yunyuan, Sha Ling and other people from the road construction headquarters who were crying bitterly, as well as officials such as Liao Yunpeng and Zheng Kun.
They had just received the notification, were shocked and went to Yamawangpo in great sadness.
It was completely dark, but the south side of Yamawang Slope was brightly lit, and the slope was covered with torches, coal lanterns, horse lanterns, and countless marching tents.
All troops who have received military orders are arriving at Yamawangpo one after another. According to the plan of the Biotuan Regiment Staff Headquarters, they are entering the designated location to set up camp.
This is a sea of people and a paradise for horses. The neighing of horses, the footsteps of soldiers, and the shouts of officers can be seen everywhere.
