Chapter 1178: The Lively Forest
Although it is not certain whether the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army has successfully crossed the river, Du Yuming has a hunch! A few days have passed since they learned that the Japanese commander was missing, and this is not counting the time that the Japanese army has concealed the news, adding up to more than ten days.
If the commander of the little devil did not cross the river to the other side for more than ten days, it would really be a pie in the sky.
Moreover, from the information they received from the captured Japanese soldiers, a considerable number of Japanese soldiers had already crossed the river under their noses.
As long as there is a little devil crossing the river from them, it is the responsibility of their airborne troops!
Du Yuming looked at the calm river, and the cold wind on the river kept them sober! His military career may be ruined on this river!
From the time the Japanese army crossed the river to Du Yuming's report that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army had escaped from the river, the communications soldier sent a telegram to Liao Fan's office.
The first person to see the contents of the telegram was Director Peng, his face was pale, and after asking everyone in the office to go out, he reported the matter to Liao Fan.
"I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen! Lao Du has created a problem for me! ”
After Liao Fan saw the content on the telegram, he was also shocked! The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army may really have escaped from under their noses, and he must go to the magnesium country, which is related to the post-war international situation! Similarly, if the escape of the Japanese commander-in-chief from him is known to the people of the magnesium country, it will inevitably have a great impact on this meeting.
"What should I do?" Director Peng asked.
"Blocking the news, insisting on missing people, missing people in war is a common thing!"
The fact that the Japanese commander-in-chief continued to disappear was more acceptable to most people than to flee, and most importantly, to be able to silence many people!
"What should I do?" Director Peng continued to ask.
"Didn't you say the news was blocked?" Liao Fan frowned, he didn't want this matter to affect his meeting in the magnesium country.
"I'm talking about what should Commander Du do?"
"I've blocked the news, what else can I do?"
The purpose of blocking the news is to let the people inside know that forget it, if there is an inexplicable punishment with Du Yuming, there will definitely be people who guess why the army will give Du Yuming an inexplicable punishment.
"The Airborne Forces have not been established for a long time, and the morale of the Airborne Forces cannot be dampened because of this incident!"
The establishment of an army is not only the establishment of soldiers, officers, and weapons, but also the airborne troops will play a role in the coming war, and if they bear the previous humiliation at the beginning of its establishment, the soldiers are fighting for honor, not for the humiliation.
"I know what to do, go and send a telegram to Commander Du now!"
Many things can no longer be done spontaneously as before! What Liao Fan has to do now is that he must think comprehensively! If it was placed in the Taihang Mountain period, he would not hesitate to disband the airborne troops and then reorganize them, just like the cavalry of the year.
Sitting in this position, there are many things that are no longer as simple as imagined! Many people are staring at you, as long as you have a mistake, they can make a big fuss and force Liao Fan to do something involuntarily.
Moreover, what the troops on the front line are most afraid of is the temporary change of generals, and Du Yuming's command of the airborne troops is not an overnight thing, and the temporary change of generals will only bury the troops.
Director Peng is also well aware of the truth, politics and the military are completely different paths! Joining the army will only kill people on the battlefield, and engaging in politics may die from someone else's words.
The construction of the army is not easy, especially like the Airborne Forces, which are equipped with the best weapons in the country, and are used to kill the enemy, not to criticize their own people.
And it is not easy for the country to train a commander like Du Yuming, no less than the value of training a pilot! But such a thing as letting go of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army categorically cannot be connived up.
Director Peng only sent a seven-word telegram to Du Yuming, "I know, keep the line of defense"!
Du Yuming, who received the telegram, looked at these seven words, and Du Yuming didn't feel good in his heart! Although he didn't know why Liao Fan did this, it had happened, and Du Yuming would not completely forget what had happened.
The river is cold and windy, if it is not winter, both sides of the river must be green, beautiful! And now there is a gray expanse everywhere, invisible mountains and invisible trees in the distance, which makes Du Yuming very annoyed in his heart.
This is a great opportunity for Du Yuming, if the airborne troops catch the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, this is a great honor, but let go of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, not to mention that the task was not completed, this is also a very humiliating thing.
As soon as the airborne troops left the division, they were humiliated under his command, and Du Yuming had mixed feelings in his heart.
Du Yuming ordered to carry out close patrols on the river defense, and no Japanese army could be spared!
Hu Guoshan also got the news from Du Yuming, and in Hu Guoshan's heart, he thought that this matter should really have nothing to do with Du Yuming!
The Japanese army changed suddenly, and even Hu Guoshan did not get accurate information on the news of the escape of the little devil commander, and by the time they got the news, the chief of staff of the Japanese army had already begun to arrange a retreat, and obviously Hu Guoshan's intelligence system would not be able to get rid of it if he was really responsible for this matter.
However, there is one thing that Hu Guoshan understands very well that the Airborne Forces do not belong to the Northeast Military Region, so they are not under his management and command!
"Let's transfer an army from Xiao Lizi's side to support Commander Du, such a long river defense, it is difficult to rely on their four airborne divisions alone!"
Although Liao Fan ordered the news of the escape of the Japanese commander-in-chief, it was easy for people like Hu Guoshan to get the real news.
Du Yuming is now burdened with a lot of responsibility, all the troops are pressed on the Western Front, and it is not an easy thing for Du Yuming to block the back road of the little devil alone.
"Lao Hu, do you want to discuss this matter with Commander Du first, if this matter is not out of the way, we will send the troops directly, but this incident is related to the face of the airborne troops!"
Or Zhao Caizhu can be a man, and he thinks about more things! For Hu Guoshan, this matter is not a big deal, but when it is put on Du Yuming and the airborne troops, it has a different meaning.
Even Du Yuming may think that after this incident, Hu Guoshan does not believe that their airborne troops can continue to complete the mission, once they have this idea, these four airborne divisions will really be scrapped.
"Then give Du Yuming a call! Ask for his opinion and tell the troops he sent over to obey his command! ”
The airborne troops were also built by Liao Fan, and Hu Guoshan and this unit are also brothers, and when there is difficulty, he can help when he can.
At this time, few people can understand Du Yuming's depressed mood, a chance, the difference between cloud and mud! Gaining the honor is the envy of all the troops, and losing it is the humiliation that their troops bear.
But because Liao Fan's order was not made public, even the searching troops did not know that the person they were really searching for was the commander of the Japanese army.
"Commander, don't think about it, I just got the news that Brother Fan is going to the Magnesium Country in the near future, and it is an invitation sent by the people of the Magnesium Country, maybe the blocking of the news has something to do with Brother Fan's going to the Magnesium Country!" Zhi Zhengming said.
"This matter is no longer suitable to talk about in the army, you should not talk about this matter, I know better than you what the final result will be!"
Can the news be blocked for a while, can it be blocked for a lifetime? Sooner or later, someone will poke out the news, and at that time, he Du Yuming will still have to bear this responsibility, maybe at that time, the problems Du Yuming is facing will be even more turbulent than what he has to face now.
"Just now, Commander-in-Chief Hu sent a telegram asking if we need troop support? In particular, they stressed that the troops who came to support us should obey our commands. ”
"Lao Hu still knows how to be a man, let them come, at least changing the guard can give our fighters a rest, they have been airborne for so long, the soldiers have been active in the front line, and in the long run, it will make a person crazy!"
A war can easily change a person, especially a recruit, and the bloody battlefield has given them the last lesson they want to learn in life.
As a commander, he must not only consider the combat situation of the troops, but also the soldiers, because the safety of a commander depends on the soldiers to maintain it.
"Then where to arrange them, although they are handed over to our command, they are also guests, our airborne troops have their own system, but they will not help us, and they will become our people!"
If it is another army unit, everyone will help each other, maybe as soon as the lips touch the skins, one army will be transferred from the other Li Weimin's group army to Liu Chundao's group army.
An army supported by Li Weimin helped Du Yuming consolidate the defense of the river, and Du Yuming also had extra troops in his hands to search the Japanese troops in the forest!
"Organize a small-scale force, it is best to take a group of twenty or thirty people, bring enough ammunition * medicine, and wander around the forest for four or five days, the purpose is not to really find the little devil, even if it is to startle the snake, you can't let the little devil live too comfortably in the forest!"
Now that he has extra troops, Du Yuming also plans to make the little devil too comfortable! In case the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army really didn't cross the river with a false shot, they really caught a big fish and came back.
Moreover, a group of twenty or thirty people, and a dozen or so groups of troops are only one battalion of troops, and they can't use too many of their troops, and they can rotate every four or five days, and they can rest.
After their soldiers entered the forest, as long as the Japanese army found their traces, the little devils would not be able to sleep! According to the current temper of the little devils, they will definitely be able to hide when they see the Chinese army!
So a group of people began to play hide and seek in the forest, the hiding side was the little devil, and the party looking for was the troops sent out by Du Yuming! The forest also began to be lively, and the occasional gunfire could startle a flock of birds, and then the forest was calm again.
