Hu Bin wanted to make a review before the meeting began, and his move made everyone in the conference room stand up in surprise. Li Nian was also there to persuade, and at the same time said that he was wrong.

"Okay, okay, you two sit down, what kind of review, there's nothing wrong, both of you are doing their own duties, that's right, sit down and say!" At this time, Li Tianxing stood up and said to the two of them.

"Yes, it's not wrong, sit down and say, what kind of review." Ning Ze was also there to persuade.

"Okay, then, political commissar, you sit down first, I want to say a few words!" Hu Bin heard it, nodded, and said to the political commissar.

"Sit down, too!" Hu Bin looked at those cadres and said, those cadres looked at the people in front of them in confusion.

Li Nian saw Hu Bin say this and sat down, but his eyes kept staring at Hu Bin.

"I know that the various units have a lot of opinions on the political commissar's call to stop last time, in fact, you have misunderstood, this time the fault is not the political commissar, but I did not communicate clearly with the political commissar before, in fact, as the chief of staff said just now, no one is wrong in this matter, and each performs his own duties.

As you know, the implementation of our strategy of the Great Roundabout this time was very successful, and the most important thing is that no one knows my combat intentions, not that I don't believe you, but that this strategy is so important that I dare not tell anyone, so I can only implement it myself.

The high command didn't know, they thought that I really wanted to kill Jiang Dingwen, and they were very worried, so they telegraphed the political commissar to stop, and the political commissar had no way to carry out the orders of the command and the headquarters before understanding my strategic intentions.

Actually, you all misunderstood the political commissar, and I came out to fight this battle, and it was the political commissar who informed me. He said that he wanted to avenge our troops, so there was nothing wrong with the political commissar this time, and I also hope that after you return to the troops, you will clearly convey this matter and not let the troops misunderstand the political commissar.

Say it in good conscience. Most of the logistics of the entire 99th Army, as well as the work in our base areas, are done by the political commissar, and no one can do this better than the political commissar, and I can't do it, this is the ability of the political commissar, you can't deny the political commissar's credit for most of the past six months just because of a misunderstanding, and I don't agree to this.

This matter is now known to the high command and the command. said that he wanted to change the political commissar for me, but I said no way, just kidding, such a political commissar was transferred, where can we find it? I told the commander-in-chief that I should not be the commander of the army, and the political commissar could not go! If he's gone, I'll not do it! Hu Bin stood on it and said.

Li Nian heard it. I was very moved, I was really wrong last time. He did not put himself in the right position, because he was first and foremost the political commissar of the 99th Army, and he needed to take into account the thinking of the entire army, and without considering the maturity of the situation, he shouted to stop, so that the officers and soldiers of the entire army did not understand. But now Hu Bin not only took this matter down, but also affirmed his merits in the 99th Army and Hubei.

"You must convey this matter well, if you dare not listen to the orders of the political commissar in the future. I'll put my words here in advance, and whoever dares not to listen, I'll find trouble with whom! Hu Bin looked at the people below and said.

"How can it, the political commissar we also respect too!" Li Qinwei immediately said, he must take the lead, he is Hu Bin's descendant, and he can be regarded as Hu Bin's brother, he takes the lead and those people know how to do it!

"That's it, Commander, you're worried about this!" Wang Zhixian also said with a smile.

"That's it, I wanted to do a review, but you didn't let me do it, but that's the way it is, you don't think much about it!" Hu Bin sat down with a smile and said.

"I want to say two words, I was responsible for what happened last time, I forcibly called a stop without taking into account the thinking of the officers and men of 99, it was indeed abrupt, and I did interfere with the command of the army commander, I am responsible for this, and I will review it to the whole army!" Li Nian said immediately.

"What a big deal to be a fart!" When Hu Bin heard it, he immediately objected.

"No need for the political commissar, what kind of review is this, there is no way to deal with the original situation, we will also persuade the military commander!" Li Qinwei opened his mouth and said.

"I said political commissar, you really don't need this, I was arguing with the commander at the beginning, and then the commander revealed his intentions a little, and I carried out the order, my troops have stopped, you know this!" Li Dalong said immediately.

"Political commissar, and everyone, I have a problem, I don't easily say the general combat intentions, this has nothing to do with trusting or distrusting everyone, because the relationship is too important.

I am the army commander, I am responsible for the life safety of the whole army, and I am also responsible for our Yan'an strategy in Hubei, there are many things I can only do, I can't say, and there are also things I can only say I can't do, there is no way! I hope the comrades can understand.

It's not that I'm alone, but the environment around us now, forcing me to dare not divulge a little strategic intent, of course, now that the fight is over, I can talk about it.

Originally, in this operation, I wanted to occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi and expand the scope of our base area, but later, I got the information that if we really fought out, our base area in Hubei would be lost immediately.

There is no way, I can't continue to fight after the battle against Xianning, and I also mobilized troops in advance to control the Huangshi area, just to leave an exit for the troops, otherwise it will be even more difficult for us to develop in the future.

Recently, Yan'an reported on our cooperation with Chongqing, you know, Huangshi belongs to us, but do you know how much we have to pay? $30 million, plus at least $1 million less per month, that's $2 million, because of what?

Because the Chongqing side saw my strategic intentions when I was in the late stage, we had to pay such a heavy price! Hu Bin looked at the generals below and said.

"You can't blame the commander for this, it's true, we lost a lot this time, it's really a loss, but it's still our own strength is not enough, if our strength is enough, then they won't dare to move!" Li Tianxing immediately said.

"Yes, this meeting is for this, to develop our strength, whether it is the strength of the army or the strength of the local economy, now I think you can also see that fighting a war is fighting money, who has money, who is powerful, who is the boss!" Hu Bin nodded and said. The cadres below nodded when they heard this.

"This meeting is divided into 2 parts, and the content of the meeting is now sent to you!" As he spoke, Hu Bin handed over the documents he had placed on the table to Zhang Fan and asked Zhang Fan to send them down.

After Zhang Fan was ready, Hu Bin said: "The two parts of this meeting, the first military part, we now have 8 divisions in the whole army, and now plus the wounded who can return to the hospital and 215499 people, this is not enough.

According to my requirements, each combat division has 16,000 men, and there is no limit to the number of reserve divisions, and I hope that by this winter, our troops will exceed 400,000 people, and all of them will form combat effectiveness, of which the artillery brigade will be expanded into an artillery division, with two artillery brigades, an artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters, an engineer regiment, a transport regiment, and a guard battalion directly under the division headquarters.

The artillery brigade consists of 2 artillery regiments, an infantry regiment, an engineer battalion, a transport battalion and a guard company. At the same time, the artillery division should also have its own reserve division! Hu Bin sat there and spoke, and the people all nodded.

"Reserve divisions, my plan is that the troops of each reserve division should exceed 30,000 people, and they can be supplemented with two combat divisions, and the cadres of each reserve division will be transferred from the deputy positions in the combat division, and the deputy positions of the reserve divisions will be re-selected, so as the main training of cadres at all levels in the future!" Hu Bin continued to speak.

Those people began to draw lines on the documents that had just been sent out, listening to Hu Bin, and then Hu Bin talked about the development plans of each division, and on the first day, it was all about the development plans of the troops, including the establishment of militia units in various villages!

The next day, it was the local development plan, and Hu Bin began to divide the garrisons of the eight divisions into sections, let those political commissars manage them, and at the same time let the political commissars select cadres from various localities from the troops and localities, and asked them to leave the troops and devote themselves to the management of the localities.

In the evening, Hu Bin asked those cadres to ask questions, what problems there are, they will ask them now, and solve the problems on the spot, and they have been busy until more than 2 o'clock in the morning, and Hu Bin and they have dismissed the meeting.

On the morning of the next day, Hu Bin sent those cadres back to his station, and then returned to the headquarters, Yan'an asked him to go back as soon as possible, originally Commander Jiang wanted to see Hu Bin, but Yan'an did not agree, and the negotiation with Commander Jiang was all entrusted to Deputy Commander Zhou.

Hu Bin went directly from Hubei through the open passage to Yan'an, but now Hu Bin can't leave at all, at this time, he is sitting in his office, looking at a pile of notices of fallen cadres and martyrs' books in a daze.

At this time, the 99th Army sacrificed 2,538 cadres at the platoon level, including 2,538 cadres who died after meritorious service, 497 cadres at the company level, 104 cadres at the battalion level, 22 cadres at the regiment level, 4 cadres at the brigade level, and 1 cadre at the division level.

Before signing, Hu Bin looked at the thousands of death notices and martyrs' notices, smoked several cigarettes in a row, and did not sign them. But he couldn't help but sign, and after calming down his mood, Hu Bin picked up the first death notice, it was the division commander who died, the deputy commander of the 104th Division, Zheng Qun, who was hit by a devil's shell during the defensive operation and died!

Hu Bin has sent an application for posthumous award of lieutenant general to Chongqing, and has been approved, Hu Bin wrote Zheng Qun's merits over the years on this death notice, and then wrote clearly when he died, and then signed it below, and finally pressed the signature of the commander of the 99th Army.
