"Division commander, everything that can be withdrawn has been withdrawn!" A regimental commander reported to Li Weimin.

Li Weimin sat on the ground, his eyes blank, and his hair was covered with thick dust, as if he had never taken a bath in his life. Especially on his clothes, it is no longer possible to tell whether he is wearing a military uniform or not.

He poured his heart and soul into the battle, but the moment the Japanese artillery rang out, he was defeated, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart at this time, but everyone knew that this was not the time to cheer.

"How many have been withdrawn?"

Yesterday, the Japanese army carpet-bombarded the tunnel they had just dug with heavy artillery, except for a few dozen meters away from the exit, so the tunnel collapsed.

The head of the regiment gritted his teeth and said to Li Weimin: "It's not even a fraction!" ”

"How many people? Anyway, I'll be okay with it! ”

Yesterday their troops suffered heavy casualties, and most of the fighters were not killed by the heavy Japanese artillery, but were buried alive. Although Li Weimin had given the order to retreat in time, it was still too late.

"Only about two dozen people have been evacuated!"

Li Weimin only felt that it was dark in front of him, he almost fainted on the ground, more than 1,000 people were arranged in the tunnel, and only about 20 people escaped, it can be said that the whole army was wiped out, and he could not escape responsibility as a commander.

The most important thing is that they failed this offensive plan, and they were buried alive by the little devils at once, which had a serious impact on the morale of the troops.

"Order the troops, dig trenches from tonight, and count as many corpses as you can dig up!"

More than half of these fallen warriors were from the Taihang Mountains, and Li Weimin needed to hand them over to their families.

"Commander, are you okay?"

The head of the regiment saw that Li Weimin's hands were trembling, and asked Li Weimin with concern.

"The troops are in place, don't let the little devils take advantage of the loopholes, and you are responsible for finding out where our problems are this time, finding out where the problems are, and avoiding the same mistakes next time we make them!"

Li Weimin ignored the regiment commander's concern, and kept explaining to him the affairs of the troops, as if he was explaining his own affairs, it seems that last night's defeat hit Li Weimin very hard.

"Commander, I made a note! But there's one thing I want to report to you, and that is...... It is...... The soldiers ...... "The regiment commander finally made up his mind to tell the soldiers what the soldiers were talking about Brother Fan."

However, Li Weimin could no longer hear it.

"Divisional commander! Teacher, wake up! Commander, Commander, what's wrong with you? The soldiers surrounded him and shouted loudly for Li Weimin, but Li Weimin felt like he was dead and could not hear anyone's voice.

Liao Fan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, the fatigue and pressure of the past few days, coupled with the defeat of the troops, this series of events completely crushed Li Weimin's body, Li Weimin fell ill on the front line, and the soldiers hurriedly carried Li Weimin to the car and sent him back to Datong.

The troops on the front line lost their commanders, and the troops immediately became confused, and with all kinds of unfavorable news about Liao Fan, the morale of the troops fluctuated.

Huang Changsheng was extremely anxious after learning that there was a problem in the front-line battle and Li Weimin fell ill. Liao Fan was sent back to Taihang Mountain, Liao Jundong returned to Yingxian to maintain logistics, Li Weimin is now sick again, and the military affairs of the front line and the entire Datong are pressed on Huang Changsheng.

When he learned that Li Weimin was sent back to Datong Hospital, Huang Changsheng rushed to the front line as soon as possible, and now Datong City is quite stable, Li Weimin's main forces are on the front line, once Li Weimin's division has a big problem, then Datong will also be in danger, this is a series of reactions, even more critical than the situation in Henan.

Therefore, the most important thing is to stabilize Li Weimin's situation, and only Huang Changsheng can take charge of this responsibility.

"Communication soldier, go to Yingxian County, tell Brother Liao, let him come to Datong as quickly as possible, sit in Datong, if Brother Liao asks me where I went, just say I went to the front line!"

On the front line, although there were regimental commanders and battalion commanders and other officers at all levels in each regiment, it was difficult for the units to issue political orders, and some units even began to have small-scale chaos. The regiment commander who finally heard Li Weimin's order, although he wanted to communicate with the other regiment commanders in time, but so many troops, there was no radio, and they could only rely on the communication corps to convey them one by one, so there was a lot of delay in time.

When Huang Changsheng arrived at the front line, although the troops were not like herding sheep, but it was almost the same, although some officers set an example and managed the troops very well, but they still lacked experience in arranging troops, so there were many unreasonable firepower matches on the position, and if the Japanese army charged, such an arrangement on the position could not stop the little devil from charging several times.

Some of the fighters were even more excessive, even lying on the position and sleeping, without even a single soldier standing guard around.

Huang Changsheng didn't blame the soldiers, the soldiers had been busy for so many days, and the matter about Liao Fan made them worry again, and then last night's defeat hit them even harder, and many soldiers lost their backbones, not knowing what to do or what not to do at this moment.

"Inform the regiment commander, battalion commander, and company commander that you must report to the headquarters within ten minutes, otherwise you will be engaged in military law!"

Huang Changsheng did not go to the position to see the situation of the troops, the parts he saw already represented the whole of the troops, and now that the troops have no main officers, ignoring military discipline, of course Huang Changsheng cannot indulge them to continue like this.

The signal troops ran to the troops at the fastest speed, and Huang Changsheng looked at his watch in the command center, counting the time, if he did not arrive at the command headquarters at the time he specified, he must deal with it seriously, especially in this eventful autumn, the upper echelons of the new 33rd Army are already chaotic enough, and the troops below cannot be chaotic, and the only thing that can restrain the troops is military law and military discipline.

Especially at this critical time, once the Japanese army knows the situation on their side, they will definitely attack them, and then the main force of Li Weimin's division will be in danger, and maybe his division will become the history of the new 33rd Army.

There were more and more officers in the command, and none of them dared to gasp loudly. Huang Changsheng, as the brigade commander of the special operations brigade, has often heard of the iron-blooded methods of the special operations brigade, and they would rather provoke Liao Fan and Liao Jundong than provoke Huang Changsheng.

Once Huang Changsheng set his sights on them and found a reason to say that the special operations brigade selected personnel, all of them had to obey Huang Changsheng's command, even Li Weimin could not save them, and then after a month of intensive training in the special operations brigade, they had to retire.

Huang Changsheng's face was blue in the command headquarters, and everyone could see that he was unhappy, if he provoked Huang Changsheng at this time, the end would not be ordinary.

"The regiment commander checks on your battalion commanders, and the battalion commander checks on your company commanders to see who else hasn't arrived!" Huang Changsheng glanced at the number of officers and knew that they must not have arrived.

There was a commotion among the officers in the command, and they could tell at a glance whether the officers under their command had arrived or not.

"Report to Brigade Commander Huang, there is a battalion commander in our regiment who has not arrived ......"

"Report to Brigade Commander Huang, our battalion ......"

When Huang Changsheng heard the name reported by the officer, his face became colder and colder: "Guards, guard the door, if anyone dares to break in, shoot them directly!" ”

When the officers heard Huang Changsheng's words, they gasped, even if Liao Fan was here, he would not prevent the officers from entering the command headquarters, and finally punish those officers who arrived late with some physical punishment at most. Hearing what Huang Changsheng meant now, I am afraid that those officers who arrived late will not have a good life.

"Your division commander is seriously ill and has been in the hospital, although I haven't seen it yet, but with his military rank, he can still manage the troops for Division Commander Li, and everyone present should have no opinions, right?"

Huang Changsheng's meaning is obvious, you must listen to my orders today, otherwise the dismissal is a trivial matter, and it is likely that you will have to worry about your life.

There was silence in the Command Headquarters, and they could hear a needle drop.

"Let me ask all of you, are you blind?" There was a majesty in Huang Changsheng's words, and he couldn't allow anyone present to speak.

"Since no one answers me, you are blind! Since you're blind, you're ......."

"Report to Brigade Commander Huang, we are not blind!"

"No blindness, no blindness, what the soldiers outside are doing, don't you see? Are they all blind? Huang Changsheng was furious, he didn't scold the soldiers, but the officers of the unit should be mainly responsible.

"Brigade Commander Huang, we ......"

"What are you? When your division commander was here, there was no problem with military appearance and military discipline, but now that your division commander is sick and hospitalized, military discipline has become like this. There are also soldiers on the battlefield who are sleeping soundly, you company commanders don't even arrange a sentry, if the little devil calls, you will sleep here for the rest of your life! ”

"You are all from the veterans, and you know no less about the situation on the battlefield than I do, but you still knowingly commit crimes, and our military discipline has been used by you as a deaf ear?"

Huang Changsheng's series of words made everyone present bow their heads, as soldiers, especially officers, at this time, they were in such a state that even they were not satisfied.

"Brigadier Huang, we ...... We've heard...... I heard that Brother Fan died! "One of the regimental commanders finally asked the question.

"Nonsense!" Huang Changsheng shouted loudly, "I will write down the charge of disturbing the morale of the army for you first, if I hear anyone dare to disturb the morale of the army in the future, I will be dragged out and killed!" ”

Liao Fan did not sacrifice, although he was still one step away from the Hades Palace, but this step still did not go out, and there was no sacrifice.

"But...... But ......"
