Beat the devil with a system

Page 822

Chen Xiuping strode to the chairman's seat, and swept his subordinates on both sides of the conference table with a dignified expression.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Under Chen Xiuping's signal, everyone sat down one after another.

"Leader Li, please take your seat too!"

"Thank you, Chief Chen!"

The guard brought a stool, and Li Hong sat beside him.

The officers in the conference room were very confused when they saw Li Hong sitting down as a colonel. In such a senior military officer meeting, with Li Hong's military rank, he was not qualified to sit on the conference table, and could only sit aside and listen.

Everyone just felt strange about Chen Xiuping's arrangement. The officers were all focused on the commander. They didn't pay much attention to such an unremarkable colonel as Li Hong, so not many people recognized Li Hong.

Chen Xiuping put his hands on the conference table, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, our army fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders who were firmly defending Madang for several days. The soldiers on the front line bleed and sacrificed a lot. Although the soldiers of the 16th Army and the 49th Army fought bravely, Due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, our army has organized many attacks and still cannot take back the Madang Fortress."

"The chairman and the high command are well aware of the importance of the defense of the Madang River. Losing the fortress of Madang is equivalent to opening the door to the defense line, and the Japanese army can drive straight to attack Wuhan. Therefore, Chen came to the front line of Madang this time under the order of the chairman. Carry out supervisory command..."

After Chen Xiuping finished speaking, the main generals of the 16th Army and the 49th Army reported the casualties of each army.

"Reporting to Commander Chen, the soldiers of our 16th Army organized four attacks on the Japanese army on the Madang line of defense, with a total of more than 6000 casualties in each department, and many combat regiments responsible for the main attack were dismantled."

"Reporting to Mr. Chen, the officers and soldiers of our 49th Army organized three counterattacks against the Japanese invaders on the Madang line of defense. The total casualties of each unit were nearly 5000. Liang Guihua, the deputy commander of the 105th Division, died, and Zhao Tiehan, the commander of the 214th Brigade, was seriously injured..."

After Chen Xiuping listened to the casualty reports of his subordinates, he felt a little bit saddened by the officers and soldiers who died. After all, these soldiers who died were all officers and soldiers under his command.

In fact, apart from coming to the front line to supervise the battle, he also had another important task, which was to thoroughly investigate the reasons for the loss of the Madang River defense, punish those who failed in their duties in combat, so as to eliminate military discipline.

Of course, facing the dereliction of duty by his subordinates, Chen Xiuping didn't want to escalate the situation. It was enough to punish the dereliction of duty officers and generals.

After all, these are his loyal subordinates, and many officers and generals are his direct descendants.

If these subordinates were severely punished, it would be tantamount to hurting his own arm, so he was naturally unwilling to do such a stupid thing.

Chen Xiuping intended to protect his subordinates, so he did not ask for accountability at the meeting and started killing.

At this time, Xue Renwei, commander of the 16th Division of the 167th Army, stood up.

"Mr. Chen, although our 16th Army has repeatedly counterattacked to no avail, our army destroyed two Japanese warships in Madang River Bay."

"Oh? You actually destroyed two Japanese warships?"

Chen Xiuping had some doubts in his heart, and he looked at Liu Wenhan, the commander of the 16th Army next to him.

Before the meeting, Liu Wenhan, the commander of the 16th Army, and Xue Renwei, the commander of the division, had already conspired in order to avoid being held accountable by Shangfeng, and lied that they were responsible for destroying the Japanese warship.

"Mr. Chen, we did destroy two Japanese warships." Liu Wenhan said in front of everyone without changing his face.

Liu Wenhan is a member of Chen Xiuping's lineage, and the two have a long history of friendship. Before Liu Wenhan was able to serve as the commander of the Madang River Defense, it was also recommended by Chen Xiuping to the chairman.

Therefore, when Liu Wenhan said these words, Chen Xiuping still somewhat believed them.

When Li Hong heard the other party claim that the 16th Army had destroyed the devil's warship out of nothing, they also exaggerated and described how they commanded their subordinates to fight bravely. Immediately, Li Hong wanted to curse and reward each of them.

Of course, this is the opponent's base, and he needs to restrain his words and deeds.

There was a cold smile on Li Hong's face, and he sat quietly listening to the other party's boastful talk, fabricating military exploits to pretend to be aggressive.

In fact, the defense of Madang Jiang was impenetrable, and the main responsibility for the loss of the defense lay with Liu Wenhan.

Liu Wenhan climbed to the position of army commander, but he was not an idiot. He graduated from the second phase of Whampoa. He was rich in strategy and had a certain ability in military command.

However, this person has a lot of shortcomings, he is very successful, he talks too much, he likes to do some irrelevant and mindless things.

The Japanese army captured Anqing and immediately attacked the fortress of Madang River Defense. Liu Wenhan misjudged the Japanese offensive, and the war was imminent.

Chapter 741 Making Things Out of Nothing (Part [-])

The Japanese troops had already reached the Madang line of defense, and this Liu Wenhan was still doing such mindless things.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack on the Madang Fortress. The 16th Army stationed at the fortress lacked a commander, and the position suddenly fell into chaos.

The devil is bound to win against Ma Dang. The Japanese army not only dispatched an army to make a surprise attack, but also dispatched two battle fleets to cooperate in the operation.

The unprepared Madang defenders were helpless in the face of the overwhelming firepower of the Japanese navy's naval guns.

In just a few hours, almost all the defensive positions outside Madang were lost. Liu Wenhan, the commander of the army, realized it later and quickly ordered Xue Renwei's 167th Division stationed in Pengze to rush to help.

If at this time, Xue Renwei's 167th Division can rush to help in time, maybe there is still a turning point for the defense line of the Madang position.

However, because Xue Renwei was worried about being blocked by the devils, he stupidly ordered to go to Madang for support from the small road.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of the 167th Division lost their way halfway, and the defenders of the Madang Fortress, who had been unable to get support for a long time, only held on for less than a few days before being defeated across the board, resulting in the fall of the fortress.

It can be said that both Xue Renwei and Liu Wenhan were to blame for the fall of the Madang Jiang defense fortress.

It is hateful and sad that the solid fortifications of Ma Dang, which failed to function effectively in the hands of the Chinese army, have become a solid defensive shield for the little devils.

When Chen Xiuping came to the front line, he also received information on the destruction of two Japanese warships at the theater headquarters.

However, he didn't know the truth about Madang Bay's destruction of the Devil's warship. They were persuaded by Xue Renwei and Liu Wenhan to believe it was true.

"Our army's counterattack against Madang was repeatedly frustrated, and more than [-] officers and soldiers were killed or injured. The chairman of the committee was very annoyed. However, Commander Liu was able to command his subordinates to destroy two Japanese warships, which can be regarded as a blow to the prestige of the Japanese army!" Chen Xiuping praised the commander in public. Liu Wenhan.

Chen Xiuping is a thoughtful person, how can he be so easy to fool, he has some doubts about this matter in his heart, just with the artillery equipped by the 16th Army, how can it be so easy to destroy the two warships of the Japanese army?

Although he didn't quite believe the one-sided words of his subordinates, no one asked for credit for sinking the Devil's warship, so the credit was naturally attributed to his subordinates.

With the accident that destroyed the Devil's warship, Chen Xiuping just found a shelter

The subordinate's reason, as the commander-in-chief, he can only turn a blind eye, close his eyes, and go back to communicate with the chairman.

"Commander Liu, Commander Xue, when Chen goes back to see the principal, I will definitely give credit to you in front of the principal!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!!!"

Xue Renwei and Liu Wenhan thanked Chen Xiuping loudly.

Seeing this, Li Hong really couldn't stand it anymore. He could bear others pretending to be aggressive and bragging, but he couldn't bear others taking credit for his achievements and being so brazen.

If the generals who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield took the credit, Li Hong would be lazy to pursue it. However, the two of them neglected their duties and lost Ma Dang, and they are still boasting here. Do you really think that Li Hong is air?

Not only did Li Hong want to vent his anger, he also did not want to see the two get away with their crimes. Such senior officers and generals must be severely punished.

"Hehehe..."

Li Hong glanced at the brazen two, deliberately sneered.
