Beat the devil with a system

The colonel's secretary smiled, and then politely made a gesture of invitation to Li Hong.

Li Hong followed the secretary to walk up to Chen Xiuping, and raised his hand to salute again: "Hello, Mr. Chen, everyone!"

This time, all the officers raised their hands to return a military salute to Li Hong, including of course Chen Xiuping himself.

"So you are Li Hong? Hehe..." Chen Xiuping smiled amiably.

"Reporting to Mr. Chen is a humble job!" Li Hong raised his voice and answered affirmatively.

The officers and generals present were all from the 9th war zone. Although they had never met Li Hong, they had heard about Li Hong's achievements in battle and the combat effectiveness of the security regiment.

They really didn't expect that an ordinary colonel turned out to be Li Hong, the god of war who repeatedly made little devils suffer.

"Commander Li defeated the elite Japanese troops many times in the two war zones. Your name is really impressive. I have admired you for a long time!!!" The officers and generals clasped their fists at Li Hong to express their respect for the God of War against Japan.

Li Hong was respected by them, and he didn't show complacency and arrogance at all. Instead, he humbly clasped his fists in return.

Nowadays, he is also a person who has seen many big scenes. He is no longer a rookie officer who is flattered when he sees a general. Even if Li Hong talks with a senior general,

Still neither humble nor overbearing.

"Li Hong, I really didn't expect you to have such military talent at such a young age. You must be handsome in the future!" Chen Xiuping looked at Li Hong with admiration, and said with a chuckle: "My cousin not only has a strategic vision in war, And you have a good eye for finding a son-in-law!"

"Mr. Chen, thank you very much."

Chen Xiuping patted Li Hong on the shoulder, and said with a pleasant face, "Li Hong, you are now Tingxiao's son-in-law, and we are even close to each other..."

"Mr. Chen, I heard my father-in-law mentioned you, so I should call you cousin." Li Hong said in a humble and respectful tone.

"Hehe, did Tingxiao mention me to you?" Chen Xiuping smiled brightly, and continued, "Li Hong, your father-in-law is upright and never shows mercy. Even Chairman Jiang dares to contradict him. He must say that I am leading the army. No way, all you know is to blindly obey and flatter the principal in order to get promoted, right?"

"Mr. Chen, although my father-in-law has some biased words for you, his evaluation of you is mostly praise." After Li Hong finished his answer, he turned his mind and continued: "Mr. Chen, you can be promoted to the commander of the war zone." Sir, of course you have real talents, I think no matter how foolish the headmaster is, he won't promote an idiot to the command, right?!"

As soon as Li Hong said these words, everyone's expressions changed, and they immediately became cold.

Especially Chen Xiuping, his expression changed very complicated, neither anger nor happiness could be seen.

The officers and generals present were all smart people, they suddenly understood, and they could understand what Li Hong said. In fact, Li Hong was just praising Chen Pingxiu, affirming the other party's command ability.

The scene was cold for a few seconds, and suddenly, Chen Xiuping, with a complex expression, laughed loudly.

"Hehehe!!!"

"Li Hong, I really didn't expect that you can not only fight, but also be good at talking." Chen Xiuping's appreciation for the smooth and smooth Li Hong was a little more in his heart.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xiuping invited Li Hong to go to the front line headquarters of Ma

.

Li Hong did not refuse the other party's invitation, and followed the officers and generals of the 9th theater out of the airport.

After leaving the airport, a group of them drove to the front-line headquarters of Maqian.

Chen Xiuping and Li Hong met for the first time, but the other party seemed to regard Li Hong differently, and offered Li Hong to sit in his car.

"Come on, Li Hong, take my car."

Li Hong was not polite, he stepped into Chen Xiuping's jeep and sat next to him.

There are many reasons for Li Hong to receive such courtesy. One is that he is somewhat related to Chen Xiuping, and the other is that Li Hong is indeed an officer with outstanding combat command ability.

For a military talent like Li Hong, Principal Jiang admired him very much, and the commanders and commanders in each theater took the initiative to win him over. Naturally, Chen Xiuping also intended to make friends with Li Hong.

The airport is about 50 kilometers away from the frontline headquarters, and Li Hong and Chen Xiuping were chatting along the way.

Through chatting, I learned that Chen Xiuping came by plane this time to personally supervise and command the front line of the Madang Fortress.

The National Army troops who counterattacked the Madang Fortress failed to attack many times, and the chairman scolded Xipi anxiously, and even reprimanded Chen Xiuping, the commander of the theater.

Chen Xiuping knew that the consequences of the chairman being in a hurry would be very serious, reprimanding and cursing people were trivial matters, and if it was serious, he would be dismissed and replaced.

Therefore, Chen Xiuping, the highest officer in the war zone, must make a difference in front of the chairman, take the lead and go to the front to supervise the battle to show his loyalty.

They chatted a few homely words, and soon they talked about the defeat in the counterattack against the Madang Fortress.

"Mr. Chen, as the commander of the war zone, you can go to the front to supervise the battle in person regardless of the danger. I believe that the morale of the frontline soldiers will definitely increase. With you personally in command, retaking the Madang Fortress is just around the corner!" Li Hong said some encouraging words .

7 Chapter Forty

Chen Xiuping's words were very clear. He no longer had any hope of recapturing the Madang Fortress. Soon, he would issue a military order to retreat and switch to battle.

As the commander-in-chief of the war zone, Chen Xiuping had already seen the situation of the battle in the Madang Fortress very clearly, and it was only wise to abandon Madang to preserve its strength.

However, the high command had its eyes on the Ma Dang Jiang Defense Fortress, and Chen Xiuping listened to the chairman very much. Even if it was a wrong strategic decision to continue the counterattack, he would carry out the order of the chairman.

From the comparison of the strength of the national army and the Japanese army, the difference in strength between the two sides is really too big. ,

The Japanese army not only had the cover of fighter planes and naval guns, but also, the Japanese army firmly defending the Madang Fortress had already gained a firm foothold, and no matter how much troops were invested in the counterattack, it would be of no avail.

There is another reason, the Japanese army also attaches great importance to the Madang Fortress, and the Japanese Army and Navy troops are marching towards the Madang Fortress.

The national army could not attack for a long time, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses. Then, the devils would definitely seize the opportunity to attack. In the end, the two armies of the national army would fall into the siege of the devils.

Li Hong analyzed it in his heart. He knew why Chen Xiuping had no confidence in this battle, because anyone with a bit of a brain would know that the counterattack on Madang Fortress would not be possible.

"Mr. Chen, the Japanese army's air force is stronger than ours, and the navy is also very powerful. However, I am not pessimistic about counterattacking the Madang Fortress. I believe it depends on human effort." Li Hong's tone was very flat, but he was full of confidence.

"Hehe..." Chen Xiuping smiled helplessly.

Li Hong didn't ask any more questions, and then the two sides fell silent.

……

After the car drove for about two hours, Li Hong and the others arrived at the frontline headquarters of Ma.

Chen Xiuping's insistence on bringing Li Hong to the frontline headquarters was not entirely out of admiration. He wanted to find out whether Li Hong really had real talents and extraordinary military commanding skills.

Soon, a group of them entered the conference room.

Dozens of military officers were already waiting in the meeting room. The officers looked serious and stood on both sides of the meeting table.

The officers and generals present are all senior officers of the 16th Army and the 49th Army.

"Commander Chen is here!" The secretary accompanied by Chen Xiuping came in and shouted.

The officers and generals stood upright in awe: "Hello, Commander Chen!!!"
