Qi Zhenhai frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Jardian Mountain was surrounded. What exactly happened."
The guard shook his head, also confused.
This happened so suddenly that we haven't figured it out yet.
Qi Zhenhai waved his hand to signal the guards to leave.
After the guards left, Liu Jintang said with high spirits: "Mr. Qi, this matter is very simple. It is definitely a trap set by the foreigners to encircle and annihilate us at Jardine's Mountain. Unfortunately, we are not trapped beasts and we have not run out of ammunition and food." Absolutely, on the contrary, our strength is strong and our morale is high. Together with the first brigade commander who captured Minle Town, the morale of the army is unprecedentedly high."
After a pause, Liu Jintang said loudly: "I think that if we use Minle Town as a breakthrough point and head south directly to the Hong Kong Governor's Office, as long as we open the door, all problems will be solved and the so-called encirclement will be broken."
Qi Zhenhai thought for a while and replied: "Brigadier Liu's suggestion is very good, I agree."
Chen Yucheng said: "I also agree with Brigadier Liu's suggestion, but I think we should be prepared with both hands."
Qi Zhenhai asked: "Brigadier Chen thinks how to prepare."
Chen Yucheng looked solemn and said slowly: "This time we fought with the foreigners. The point of confrontation was Minle Town. However, the foreigners quietly sent troops to surround Jardine's Hill, and big guys like tanks also appeared quietly. , Inferring from this, I think this is premeditated, Minle Town is just a cover, and the siege is the real strategy."
Speaking of this, Chen Yucheng's expression became more solemn, "Breaking through Minle Town may not necessarily be effective. As the saying goes, defeat is calculated before victory is calculated. On the battlefield, any factor that may have a huge impact must be fully considered. Once failed, We cannot afford the consequences. First, we should use Minle Town as a breakthrough point as Brigadier Liu said and quickly move south to capture the Governor's Palace. Second, we should also report the news of the siege of Jardine's Hill to the President and ask him to mobilize the army. support."
Qi Zhenhai raised his head and glanced at Chen Yucheng, then lowered his head and pondered. In some ways, Chen Yucheng's suggestion was not good for Qi Zhenhai, the leading coach, because reporting to Li Zhen meant asking for help, which meant that he was the defeated general. .
Qi Zhenhai was naturally very resistant to this suggestion.
Liu Jintang was straight-tempered and had confidence in the strength of the army. He said firmly: "Commander Chen, you are unfounded. Since the war, we have fought with the foreigners several times and won several times. We have never been defeated. Even if the foreigners surround us, we will not be defeated." Dianshan, in my opinion, is a dispersion of troops, making it even more vulnerable. In this battle, there is no need to ask the President for help, and we cannot ask the President for help. A division of troops invades Hong Kong. If even Hong Kong is taken It’s really embarrassing if it doesn’t go down.”
These words hit exactly what Qi Zhenhai was thinking.
If he cannot win Hong Kong, he will lose face.
Qi Zhenhai had an idea in an instant, and with a firm look on his face, he ordered: "Commander Chen, I agree with Brigadier Liu. In this battle, I believe that our troops can break the silence and capture the Governor's Mansion. There is no need to ask the President." Asking for help.”
Chen Yucheng hesitated in his heart. It was difficult for him to deal with Qi Zhenhai's face.
However, this is a battle involving the life and death of the Chinese army.
Thinking of this, Chen Yucheng had an idea, and with a firm and serious look on his face, he said: "Commander Qi, Brigadier Liu, I maintain my opinion and should report it to the president. This is a battlefield and cannot be acted on impulse."
Qi Zhenhai's face fell, and his face was dull.
We have worked together for such a long time, and we don’t even give him this little face.
Qi Zhenhai was very unhappy in his heart.
Liu Jintang became angry and retorted tit-for-tat: "Commander Chen, I want to correct what you said. I am not acting on impulse, but after careful consideration. It is normal to calculate defeat before calculating victory on the battlefield. I also understand, but on the battlefield In war, it is also important to know yourself and the enemy and be victorious in every battle. I understand the situation of the foreign army and I also know my own army. My decision was based on the judgment of the situation on both sides, and I decided to break through Minle Town."
Chen Yucheng retorted: "Who could have expected the changes on the battlefield?"
"I can."
Liu Jintang held his head high, showing his arrogance.
Chen Yucheng snorted and said coldly: "This is the life of nearly ten thousand brothers. The power of a division is placed in our hands. We are not allowed to act on impulse. It must be carefully considered."
Liu Jintang continued to retort: "How do you judge that I am acting on impulse? In my opinion, it is because you stick to conventions in doing things. According to your statement, in history, Han Xin led his soldiers to fight against the odds. According to the strength of Han Xin's troops at that time, he is what you call acting on impulse. You don't consider the lives of soldiers. This is a war that is under your control, but you want to say that it is based on your own whims, which is ridiculous."
Qi Zhenhai sat aside, feeling quite unhappy. Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng were red-faced because of the argument. He knew that neither of them had selfish motives and they were both thinking about the army.
The two argued, and he, the coach, felt uncomfortable.
Chen Yucheng was silent for a moment, and then continued with high morale: "I still don't agree with your point of view. Han Xin's last fight was forced by the situation. Did he have any other choice? The gap in military strength made Han Xin have to choose an appropriate method of warfare. , for us, we have enough troops and strength, why must we take risks? The president sent a force to capture Hong Kong effortlessly, but your approach is risky, and foreigners still have Very well prepared.”
Liu Jintang snorted and said impatiently: "We have different paths and we don't want to work together." He had his own persistence and knew that he could not convince Chen Yucheng, so he simply stopped arguing.
Chen Yucheng had a sad face and felt worried.
At this moment, the command post suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere at this time became extremely depressing.
Neither Qi Zhenhai, nor Liu Jintang, nor Chen Yucheng spoke, and the air seemed to be stagnant. Chen Yucheng raised his head, and his eyes happened to collide with Liu Jintang's. Liu Jintang snorted and immediately turned away his head, while Chen Yucheng smiled helplessly. , he knew that what he did was offending people, but Chen Yucheng had his own persistence.
For three full minutes, none of the three people spoke.
Qi Zhenhai coughed twice and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of the army and I make decisions."
Liu Jintang said: "Mr. Qi, give the order and go straight to Lemin Town."
Chen Yucheng shook his head and sighed softly.
He already thought that Qi Zhenhai would send troops directly and would not report the news to Li Zhen.
Qi Zhenhai said calmly: "From my personal point of view, I really don't want to report the news and want to directly attack Minle Town. I listened to the debate between the two of you and know that both of you are thinking about the country and are single-minded." It’s for the public good and I don’t have any selfish motives. Thank you and I hope it doesn’t hurt the harmony.”
After a pause, Qi Zhenhai said again: "I plan to make a compromise and send troops to break out from Minle Town first. If we directly open the door and get rid of the foreigners, then we will go south and go straight to the Governor's Palace of Hong Kong without reporting the news. If we are in Minle We were intercepted when we were encircling the town and it was difficult to break out. We immediately reported the news to the President and asked for his support. What do you think?"
Chen Yucheng said without hesitation: "I agree."
Qi Zhenhai took a step back. He couldn't be ignorant, otherwise the relationship would really become tense.
Liu Jintang nodded and said: "Mr. Qi's suggestion is feasible." Immediately, Liu Jintang's eyes fell on Chen Yucheng. He smiled broadly and said humorously: "Old Chen, it just involved military operations. I have my persistence. It’s not directed at you, we are just personal friends and business is business, don’t take what happened just now to your heart.”
Chen Yucheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "We started to deal with each other when we were in Sichuan. Later, we went to Vietnam, the United States, Hawaii, etc. Along the way, I don't know you. When it comes to business, everyone has their own differences. persist in."
The two looked at each other and smiled, a long-lost smile on their faces.
