Chapter 519 Yuelu Mountain Summary Conference (1)

When dawn came, when the officers and soldiers of the temporary brigade got up from the trenches, they suddenly found that there was no morning smoke in the devil's position on the opposite side.

It seems that there is no one left.

While looking at each other, an incredible thought came to my mind: The devils retreated?
Adhering to the principle of bold conjecture and careful verification, a squad of soldiers cautiously walked forward to investigate, and finally confirmed that the devils who attacked themselves retreated in the dark!
Telegrams from all over the world are constantly feeding back.

After a long time, the commander of the war zone in Xiangtan sent a telegram: confirming that the Japanese army has retreated!
On the land of northern Hunan, there were cheers one after another.

Ten days later, the troops were licking their wounds on the garrison.Li Chong followed a group of officers from the Tenth Army with a brigade rank and above in a jeep and entered Changsha City wearing a clean military uniform.

Today, all officers of the brigade level and above who can walk on both legs in the Ninth War Zone must gather at the Yuelu Mountain Church to participate in the "Second Changsha Battle Summary Conference" held by the Chairman himself.

A group of Chongqing bigwigs flew in person, and no officer from the Ninth War Zone dared to be absent.

When passing through the north gate of Changsha, the jeep rolled over the broken bricks on the ground, and along the road, soldiers of the city guards could be seen struggling to clear the heavy and broken Devil tanks from the street.

After the devils attacked Changsha for the first time, Changsha City, which was somewhat revived, fell to the bottom of the valley again during this devil's attack.

"Bah!"

The jeep stopped some distance away from the foot of Yuelu Mountain.

With such a huge system in the Ninth War Zone, even if the rank of participating officers is limited to the brigade level, plus the soldiers who maintain order, the number of people standing at the foot of Yuelu Mountain is estimated to be thousands of people.

A jeep was parked in the distance, and the officers who got off the jeep or the car stood in line according to the troops they belonged to and chatted with each other about what happened in the Changsha battle.Regarding the meeting held after the second Changsha battle, all the officers were somewhat dissatisfied with their prospects for promotion.

If it is possible, in fact, people don't want to come.

Because compared to the first Changsha battle, this time it is not as good as the first Changsha battle in terms of the number of deaths or the number of enemy troops annihilated.The newspapers were blowing it up, but in fact, the military officers involved knew what was going on.

The words in the newspapers were just to ease the cheeks. Although judging from the results, the devil's plan to attack Changsha was repelled, but judging from the various battle damage data, it was basically a failure.

Therefore, for this summary meeting, everyone knew in their hearts that since the possibility of rewards is not high, then this summary meeting will be mostly criticized.

No one wants to be bloody and exhausted after a big battle, and sit on the bench as a grandson to be disciplined.

Now entering October, the weather and temperature under Yuelu Mountain are still suitable.

Although it was only nine o'clock in the morning and the Chairman's car would arrive at noon, all the officers in the Ninth War Zone had already lined up one after another.

Two hours after Li Chong stood in the ranks of officers of the Tenth Army, the special car of Xue Boling, chief of the Ninth War Zone, and Wu Yizhi, chief of staff, stopped in front of everyone.

The first and second commanders in the war zone got out of the car, and all the officers saluted one after another, and the first and second commanders showed no expression on their faces.

In the early twelfth noon, there was already news that the chairman's special plane had landed.

Half an hour later, a series of three shiny black cars appeared in everyone's sight.

"salute!"

The guard of honor gave an order.

All the officers lined up in two rows at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, from the big brother Xue Boling to the soldiers of honor in charge of order, stood and saluted one after another.

In the salute of the crowd, the chairman of the committee wearing a military uniform and an army cap walked through the middle, Bai and Chen walked on the left and right, and went up the stairs to the cathedral on Yuelu Mountain, followed by a group of officers.

In this cathedral that can hold thousands of people, everyone lined up in front of the rows of seats and stood with their hands down.

The chairman sat on the podium in the church, and behind him hung the current all-terrain map of the Ninth War Zone, while Bai Jiansheng, who followed, stood aside with a folder in his hand.

After staring at the map for a while, Generalissimo Jiang turned around, leaned the crutch in his hand against the table, and said with one hand down, "Sit down!"

Under the uniform voice, he sat upright with his hands on his knees, ready to listen to the admonition.

Xue Boling, who was sitting in the first row, secretly glanced at Chen Cixiu, who came with the chairman, hoping to see the chairman's attitude towards the Changsha battle from his eyes.

Xue Boling knew that in the second Changsha battle, because of his contempt for the Japanese commander Anan Weiji at the beginning, the entire battle fell into a passive situation, which caused huge casualties. Inescapable responsibility.

Therefore, in view of the mistakes he made, whether the chairman will give him the opportunity to continue squatting in the position of the commander of the Ninth War Zone, Xue Boling is not sure. He needs to see some answers from the face of Chen Cixiu who has a good relationship.

Xu Shi noticed Xue Boling's gaze, and Chen Cixiu responded with a look that did not show any sign, because Chen Cixiu didn't know what the chairman thought, and he didn't even know how to write the reward and punishment order in Bai Jiansheng's hand. Even Bai Jiansheng probably didn't know what it was, because it was held in the hands of the chairman when he left Chongqing, and he handed it to Bai Jiansheng after he got off the plane.

"Before the meeting, Jiansheng, please read the reward and punishment order of the Military Commission."

It is said that it is the reward and punishment order of the Military Commission. In fact, the two big men of the Military Commission, Bai Jiansheng and Chen Cixiu, did not participate in the formulation of this reward and punishment order. In fact, it was the will of the commissioner himself.

Bai Jiansheng stood still, "Yes, appointed!"

The officers of the Ninth War Zone sitting below heard that, yes, there will be rewards and punishments, and they don't know who is the lucky one who is rewarded and who is the unlucky one who is punished.

Bai Jiansheng stepped forward, opened the folder, and began to read:

"The Supreme Command of the Military Commission of the Republic of China's Reward and Punishment Order on the Second Battle of Changsha!"

"An order to reward all the soldiers of the Sixth Temporary Division who have made great contributions to guarding the North City Gate in the Changsha Battle, and to commend Lai Chuanxiang, the deputy commander of the 190th Division of the Tenth Army who died for the country."

The first thing Bai Jiansheng announced was the commendation order. After the list of names was reported, there was a "crack" applause in the church. Although he didn't have his own name, the applause must be loud. Except for the guards of Changsha, on this list of awards, All the others are the names of the officers who died in the battle.

The clapping was just a subconscious movement, and the hearts of all the officers tightened. Now that the list of awards has been read, the next step is the list of punishments.
