Chapter 22 Chapter Ten (2)

The blue army command post was very nervous by the sudden counterattack launched by the red army across the board, and it was impossible to judge the intention of the red army for a while. Chang Shaole took a stack of telegrams from the staff officer, looked at them page by page, and said, "This Fan Yingming seems to have gone crazy. Could it be that he is using offense as defense? Attack is not this kind of attack." Fa!" Zhu Haipeng carefully looked at the situation on the battlefield, paced back and forth, and did not express his opinion immediately. Chang Shaole said again: "They are coming fiercely, we should suppress their anger."

Zhu Haipeng shook his head and said: "With Fan Yingming's judgment, he can't fail to see that the Red Army has no chance. He must have other motives for this kind of suicidal charge. If he is our real enemy, he will be terrible. Mr. Chang , I guess they did this to keep a breath for Division A." Chang Shaole thought for a while and said: "They don't have air dominance, the logistics and transportation lines are not smooth, and their military strength is no longer dominant, so they have already shown their defeat. Your analysis makes sense. We can't be too egotistical. We still have to leave it to Division A. Some wiggle room."

Zhu Haipeng said: "The exercise has reached this level, and our task has been successfully completed. It is time to consider the overall situation. The problems that Division A has should be exposed. If we blindly fight for victory, we will hurt Division A. My vitality has passed instead." Chang Shaole said: "We should show our attitude, and we can't let Deputy Commander Fang and Commander Chen think we are petty. How to do it is up to you." Zhu Haipeng shouted: "Officer Ding, order all the troops in contact with the enemy to avoid their sharp edge, withdraw five kilometers back, and continue to maintain an offensive posture. Order the Air Force to dispatch five bombers to bomb the Qingyi River Bridge on the Red Army's transportation line ."

The two walked out of the command post and saw Jiang Yuerong standing outside the door with her bags packed. Chang Shaole asked: "Xiaojiang, really don't wait to drink the celebration wine? You, a great hero, can't be absent." Jiang Yuerong said: "My mission has been barely completed. I do have important things to do next week. If you insist on not agreeing, I will have to obey the order. It just so happens that there is a free ride in the logistics..." Chang Shaole smiled and said, "Do you think we two are the kind of unreasonable people? I'll send a car to take you directly to City K."

Jiang Yuerong hurriedly said: "No, no, just hitch a ride. The drill is still going on, so I can't afford to do this." Chang Shaole said, "Haipeng, you send Xiaojiang off. I'll nail it here." Zhu Haipeng bent over carrying the box and walked slowly. Jiang Yuerong followed a few steps and asked, "Is there anything else you want to explain?" Zhu Haipeng stopped, turned around and sighed, "Can't you think about that?" Jiang Yuerong shook her head and said, "I've been thinking about it, please believe that I will give you a satisfactory answer, but you must give me enough time."

Zhu Haipeng said angrily, "Three years? Five years?" Jiang Yuerong looked at Zhu Haipeng with earnest eyes, "Don't force me. I will give you an answer when the exercise is over." She snatched the box from Zhu Haipeng and walked quickly to a large truck. Zhu Haipeng waited until the truck was out of sight before turning around and walking towards the war room. After Fang Yingda and Chen Haoruo knew that the Red Army had launched a counterattack across the board, they stood in front of the big screen and watched.A staff officer quietly grabbed Zhao Zhongrong, handed him a page of telegram, and reached out to click on the telegram with a mysterious expression.Zhao Zhongrong quickly finished reading the telegram, glanced at Huang Xing'an who was standing in the corner, took two steps forward stiffly, and said in a trembling voice, "The Red Army is here, please call for instructions."

Fang Yingda said: "Read!" His body remained motionless. Zhao Zhongrong read: "Military Region Exercise Steering Committee Merger Exercise Coordination Committee: In view of the fact that our army has completely lost the initiative on the battlefield, it is meaningless to resist any more. We have ordered all the subordinate ministries to attack for the last time. Please suspend the exercise at an appropriate time. This time During the exercise, our army exposed many problems, and the result of defeat is inevitable..." Fang Yingda yelled: "Enough! Pick up Fan Yingming. He, he is so brave! Huang Xing'an, look at what you have done! A Class A teacher, he didn't even last forty-eight hours." He answered the phone Shouted: "Is it Fan Yingming? Are you really going to surrender with the white flag?"

Fan Yingming was silent over there. Fang Yingda said: "You have to think carefully! The Red Army still has 6,000 people, which is almost the same as the total strength of the Blue Army. Are you really going to take this responsibility?" Fan Yingming said: "I am the commander of the Red Army. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? If the fight continues, it will be extremely irresponsible for the lives of my soldiers. Surrender is considered surrender." Fang Yingda lost his composure and picked up the phone holder and threw it on the table, "Aren't your soldiers fighting back?"

Fan Yingming didn't hide it at all: "Deputy Commander Fang, this is a suicide charge. The regiment has basically run out of ammunition and food, and our tanks and armored vehicles will be piles of scrap metal after driving for another twenty miles. I request the suspension of the exercise. , it is meaningless to fight again." Fang Yingda calmed down, "Say, what are you going to do when you stop? Are you going to return to the original station in despair like this? Is a Class A division, costing tens of millions, here just to prove the myth that high-tech troops are invincible? "

Fan Yingming said: "We have arranged a military review meeting. After the meeting, we will report a detailed material about this exercise. I personally think that the exercise cannot end here. The result of Division A's performance is definitely not like this." Fang Yingda said: "Understood. We will consider your request immediately." He smashed the phone and walked back and forth in the war room. The huge room was silent, and a staff officer came in with a telegram, but he didn't dare to speak. Chen Haoruo said, "What's the news again? Read on."

The staff officer said: "This is the latest order from the Blue Army. Five bombers are going to bomb the Qingyi River Bridge. All frontline troops will retreat five kilometers." Fang Yingda looked at the screen and said to Chen Haoruo: "Chang Magan and Zhu Haipeng are too winking and kicked the ball to the referee's feet. The exercise must not end like this. Commander Chen, order the two armies to rest in place for three days. You Pin it here, and I'll report back to the military region immediately." Chen Haoruo said: "Lunch has been reheated twice, let's go after eating. You didn't eat much breakfast." Fang Yingda wore a coat and said, "I have no appetite. Commander Qin and Political Commissar Zhou are going to Beijing for a meeting the day after tomorrow. Before they leave, they have to settle this matter." Seeing Huang Xing'an standing in the corner, he said disgustedly: "You Why are you still here?" Huang Xing'an muttered, "I, I'm waiting to report to you." Fang Yingda waved his hand and said, "It's unnecessary. Go back to your unit to attend the military review meeting. Commander Chen, let the Red Army's captured and killed battalion officials go to the military review meeting." Zhao Zhongrong accompanied Chen Haoruo to send Fang Yingda to the plane, and when he returned to the gate of the compound, he saw Huang Xing'an waving to him behind a cedar tree. Zhao Zhongrong walked over, "Old Huang, why don't you leave? Commander Chen is fine if he doesn't get angry, but if he gets angry, it will be enough for you." Huang Xing'an said with a mournful face, "Find me some steamed buns and bring them with you. I haven't eaten or drank all day." Zhao Zhongrong grumbled and complained: "It's not cold noodles. If you go to the cafeteria, you can't find a few steamed buns." Huang Xing'an sighed, "I can't afford to lose this person. I didn't expect that in a drill, I would stumble so badly." Zhao Zhongrong said: "You're not a commander, so what are you afraid of? It's true that the rafters in the early years will rot first. I'll see how Fan Yingming will pass this test. You wait, I'll ask the driver to bring the food and heat it up on the hour. Soup and hot dishes." Pointing at Chen Haoruo who was walking in the distance, "Don't let him see it." Huang Xing'an said: "Hurry up. It doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold." Jian Fan met a group of Jiao Shouzhi and Tang Long who came to participate in the military review meeting at a three-way intersection not far from the Red Army's backup command post. Angry, Jiao Shouzhi rolled down the car window and poked his head out, saying, "Commander Jian, you are really mean. I brought a regiment to rescue you, but you slipped away, and almost wiped out my entire army." Jian Fan jumped out of the car and waved his hands: "Come down and talk, come down and talk. Don't get me wrong. You all know the situation at that time. If I don't go to pick up the reinforcements, it will be over early." Jiao Shouzhi said: "It is said that you, old Jane, belong to the loach family, it is true. When you go to the second regiment, you still have one and a half battalions. At the end of the fight, I almost wiped them all out, and you still have one and a half battalions. " Tang Long said coldly: "Stop arguing, both of you, this review may be a target." Jian Fan narrowed his eyes, "Officer Tang is right. Both of our regiments made the mistake of arbitrariness. Although this arbitrariness is correct, it can only be wrong now. Lao Jiao, we have to support each other in this meeting." Jiao Shouzhi said, "What support method?" Jian Fan said: "It is correct to insist on our decision. Staff Tang, what do you think?" Tang Long said: "I don't care, this is something that you big shots are thinking about. I am in the group and I am accepting reform." Jian Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Officer Tang, in that situation, I naturally couldn't speak for you, I think you will understand." Tang Long smiled and said: "Didn't I go to a regiment, didn't I also become a prisoner? Thank you all before it's too late! You can discuss it, I'll go first." Seeing that there was no one else around, Jian Fan sighed and said, "Old Jiao, I don't dare to be a scapegoat for such a big defeat. Your code name cannot be removed this time, but if you are forced to impose a punishment, you will not be able to overcome it in a few years." Turn around. You can't help but insist that you are right." Jiao Shouzhi said ambiguously, "Let's see and talk." Many people gathered outside the command post, watching Fan Yingming use a lot of sand to make a big sand table.Qiu Jieru and several female soldiers were using very primitive tools to transport sand from the river two or three hundred meters away to the front of the command post.On the river beach, seven or eight soldiers were loading sand onto a truck with shovels. Tang Long saw Qiu Jieru who was carrying a basket, and ran a few steps to meet him. He couldn't help stopping Qiu Jieru and said: "There is a car, why are you carrying it, put it down quickly." Qiu Jieru did not put down the wooden stick on her shoulder, but glared at Tang Long, "We are willing. Get out of the way." Tang Long had no choice but to go over and grab the stick and carry it on his shoulder.With this lifting, the basket slipped towards the female sergeant, and the sergeant dodged subconsciously, and all the sand in the basket was scattered on the ground. Qiu Jieru gave Tang Long a push, squatted down and held the sand with his hands. Tang Long also knelt down and said, "What's the matter with you? I didn't mean it, why are you angry. These days, something seems wrong with you?" Qiu Jieru said: "I lost a big battle, you made me laugh? Don't you claim to be a topography expert? Hurry up and help Commander Fan." Tang Long said: "Is it necessary to make this big sand table? Anyone who has lost a battle can remember the terrain clearly. It is enough to hold a review meeting and move out the small sand table." Qiu Jieru said: "Dozens of people have a meeting, and the small sand table can't see clearly." Pushing Tang Long, he said: "Go, go." Tang Long walked back reluctantly.Over there, Jian Fan and Fan Yingming had already quarreled. Fan Yingming pointed to a roughly formed sand table and said, "The responsibility for asking to stop the exercise should naturally be borne by me. But you can't shirk your own responsibility. It was the second regiment who suddenly withdrew from here, and our defense system It just broke down." Jian Fan did not show weakness, and squatted down and said, "Commander Fan, let alone whether our three battalions can hold on to the second area. You know better than anyone whether the leading battalion of the third regiment can break through the blue army's blocking force overnight. Later, the Blue Army Motorized Rifle Battalion, which destroyed the main force of our artillery regiment, moved to this place before we dispatched." Fan Yingming said: "Commander Jian, your starting point is wrong. If you persist in the second area, their motorized infantry battalion will not dare to rush into the fifth area. The purpose of arranging this review meeting is to find out the The main reason for the failure." Jian Fan sneered and said, "The No. 2 area shouldn't have been defended long ago. The No. 1 Battalion and the No. 2 Battalion obeyed your orders and defended the two highlands before they were wiped out. After you are captured, we can of course choose what we think is right." way to fight." Liu Dongxu couldn't bear it anymore, "Captain Jian, what's your attitude? Can this kind of quarrel solve the problem?" Jian Fan said: "I'm not arguing either. The mistake is that we underestimated the enemy at the beginning, and adopted the wrong strategy. Fight for every inch of land, and defend the enemy outside the country." Huang Xing'an suddenly said: "Captain Jian, you might as well just say that I am responsible. Everyone is a party member and a leading cadre with a certain responsibility. Who is responsible, what is the responsibility, and what is the responsibility? High awareness of party spirit." Huang Xing'an suddenly appeared, everyone was surprised, for a while, no one spoke anymore.Huang Xing'an looked at the half-made sand table in front of him, stepped on it, and said, "Isn't it enough to be ashamed? Who made this?" Fan Yingming squatted down and repaired a mountain that Huang Xingan had trampled on, and said in a neutral tone: "Mr. Huang, this big sand table is made for the convenience of the review meeting." Jian Fan took the opportunity to continue: "The night before yesterday, when we got the news that you were captured, we immediately decided to send a battalion to intercept them. Chief of Staff Fan actually said that this was an irreparable mistake. We didn't know that Commander Fan himself had a Fox troops. If we had known how capable they were, of course we would have safely guarded Area 2." Huang Xing'an snorted, "It's a good thing you didn't stop it. We all became martyrs." Then, he walked towards the command post angrily, saying, "The fox army is indeed very capable." Liu Dongxu and Jian Fan hurriedly followed in.Fan Yingming was so angry that he stomped on a hill.Tang Long couldn't help making a sound like a low laugh. Fan Yingming turned around and stared at Tang Long coldly, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about it? You think it's very funny, right?" Tang Long argued, "I didn't laugh. I ate too many compressed biscuits and my stomach was full of gas." Fan Yingming held back his stomach and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he forced him to ask: "You are not in a group, what are you doing here? Are you in a meeting? Do you know what kind of meeting this is?" Tang Long bit the bullet and replied: "I know. It was Chief of Staff Jiao who forced me to come here. I dare not not come if he asks me to come, and I dare not not to come if you let me go." Run to the parking lot. Qiu Jie was at a loss as if caught in the middle.Fan Yingming felt wronged and angry. Not only did she understand, but she also expressed her injustice openly, but she also felt that Fan Yingming treated Tang Long like this was a bit too much.Just as he was hesitating, Qin Yanan came over with a basin of water and smiled, and put it in front of Fan Yingming, "You have a big temper, you should wash up. Drink more water after washing, I see if there will be a meeting Can't come down all night." Qiu Jieru bit her lip and ran after Tang Long. Fan Yingming knelt down, washed his hands, shook his head and said, "I couldn't wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River. No one would believe that there was no time to save Master Huang at that time." Qin Yanan also squatted down and smiled meaningfully, "I now understand why you didn't take the risk to save Master Huang. It's a pity that you still didn't save the fate of Master A." Fan Yingming was stunned for a while, then smiled unnaturally, "You also see this matter in the same way? It's too unfortunate." Qin Yanan said: "At least it's because you subconsciously don't want to save him. I'm a straight person. It's really hard to do things nowadays. Can you walk away?" Fan Yingming wiped his hands and said, "Of course." Over there, Tang Long had already started the car. Qiu Jieru wanted to comfort Tang Long, but she opened her mouth and said, "Commander Fan has had bad luck this time around, you should be more considerate of him." Tang Long looked at Qiu Jieru strangely, and said harshly, "Be considerate as much as you like, I just accept the fate of the scapegoat." Qiu Jieru blushed and said, "Why don't you listen to advice!" Tang Long held the steering wheel and said, "When I met you, I didn't know that your father was a major general. Don't underestimate me. If you want to see the scenery, go ahead." Qiu Jieru asked, "What do you mean by that?" Tang Long brushed his hair, "If this goes on like this, Fan Yingming will still be defeated ten more times. If you lose, there will be more people who are considerate. You know how I treat you. You are free in everything. , you can fly however you want. That’s what it means.” Stepping on the accelerator, the jeep jumped out. Qiu Jieru shouted from behind: "Stop, stop, what do you mean?" The jeep drifted away.Qiu Jieru picked up a stone and threw it at the jeep.After standing there for a while, Fan Yingming and Qin Yanan appeared in Qiu Jieru's field of vision from afar.The orange light of the setting sun diffracted a light yellow halo on the two of them. Qin Yanan's hair flew up from time to time. From a distance, it seemed that it could touch Fan Yingming's face.Qiu Jieru looked at it for a while, bit her lips tightly, as if making up her mind. In the military compound under the sunset, because Fang Yingda flew back directly from the front line of the exercise, it showed unusual tension and commotion. The news of Division A's defeat is rapidly spreading from the office building at a geometric rate. Liang Ping walked into Fang's yard, where Fang Yi was cleaning the white Mercedes with the nanny Yingzi. Liang Ping said with a smile, "Manager Fang is about to become Grandet, and he can't even bear to spend the money for car washing." Fang Yi rushed forward and asked anxiously: "Is my dad back? How is his health these days? Has he lost weight? Did he take the medicine in time?" Obviously, she didn't know the latest news about the exercise. Liang Ping said: "Don't worry. Five days ago, when I came back to work, my old mother-in-law was hospitalized, so I didn't go there for a few days. When I left, the chief was in good health. Your father is indeed back today. I came here to let you prepare dinner." Fang Yi said, "Where is my father?" Liang Pingdao: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Standing Committee at home began to listen to the chief's report on the situation of the exercise." He looked at his watch and said, "I guess he will be back when he gets off work. Alas, he has lost some weight." Fang Yi hurriedly said to Xiaoying: "Go quickly and see what vegetables are in the refrigerator. Go and buy four pig's trotters, a catty of stewed sausage, half a catty of sauced beef, and come back with a few handfuls of Chinese cabbage." While talking, Mrs. Zhu came back with her two children. Fang Yi hurriedly called out: "Ma'am, my dad is back, and he's going to have dinner at home tonight, how can you arrange it?" Mrs. Zhu hurriedly asked: "How is the old commander these two days? Has he already won the battle? Is Haipeng still brave?" Fang Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, you can ask him when you come back. Xiaoying, get on your bicycle and hurry up." Mrs. Zhu took the schoolbags of the two children and said to herself, "I have to fry the medicine first. Girl, have you found the dung beetle I asked you to find?" Fang Yi said, "I'm looking for it, you know it's hard to find." Mrs. Zhu walked into the building with her schoolbag, and said as she walked, "I don't know where the excrement and urine in this city are. I can't even find a dung beetle. I spent a dollar to enter six more huts, and I didn't even see a pile of excrement." Liang Ping asked curiously, "What is Mrs. Zhu doing with the dung beetle?" Fang Yi said: "It is said to be a folk remedy for cancer. The dung beetles were dried and crushed with century-old tiles, and they were drunk with rice wine. Aunt Zhu said that there was a patient with esophageal cancer in her village who ate more than two hundred dung beetles. Eat well. It will be fine after the exercise is over, maybe some folk remedy can cure my dad." Liang Ping hesitated for a while, then said: "Little San, you have to be mentally prepared, it's hard to say when this exercise will end." Fang Yi asked in surprise: "What do you mean? Didn't you say that my dad has come back to report on the exercise?" Liang Pingdao: "There's no need to keep it a secret from you. I don't know whether Division A is really inexperienced, or whether Zhu Haipeng is too powerful. In less than two days, the Red Army collapsed. This result is hard to accept. You Dad probably means that he wants to do it again." Fang Yi stood still for a moment, her eyes burst into flames, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fucking Zhu Haipeng, he really wants to be famous and crazy. I went to talk to him specifically, how can I talk to him?! I'll go to Qin Qin The commander and political commissar Zhou cannot always rely on my father. If he dies, he may not be able to survive for years." Liang Ping persuaded: "Calm down! I think you can only rely on him in this matter. If you don't rely on him, he will collapse immediately." With tears in her eyes, Fang Yi scolded again: "Fan Yingming, that bastard is too useless! There are more than 10,000 people, and they can't last even two days." Liang Ping said: "Don't make the chief angry. I'll go back and check the situation, maybe this will be over." Fang Yi saw two children running wildly in and out of the courtyard, and shouted sharply: "Go back and do your homework." She ran to the gate of the courtyard to look around for a while, and then called Liang Ping when she returned to the room. Liang Ping said that the meeting was not over yet. mean. Fang Yingda's report turned into a standing committee in the evening.The atmosphere of the venue was solemn and depressing, and the air seemed to freeze. Commander Qin's expression was ugly, and he looked at Fang Yingda who was sitting across from him, "It's not enough for this exercise to only achieve such a goal. Old Fang, what do you think are the main reasons why Division A lost so badly this time? Insurmountable at all?" Fang Yingda said: "There are also some objective reasons. The electronic army, the red army can't compete with the blue army at all, and it is impossible to talk about the initiative on the battlefield." Political Commissar Zhou continued: "This problem is easy to solve. We can assign the Second Electronic Countermeasures Regiment to Division A. I think it is time to conduct the second phase of the exercise. The results of the first phase of the exercise show that we do not have enough understanding of the performance of some special forces." Fang Yingda went on to say: "Objective reasons are not the main ones. The main ones are subjective reasons. Judging from the current situation of the Steering Committee, the guiding ideology of the Red Army exercise is very chaotic. Huang Xing'an actually changed Fan Yingming's combat policy in his last defense. " Director Zhang of the Political Department said, "Isn't this a multi-man command?" Fang Yingda said: "Division A also set up a steering committee for the exercise. It is not yet possible to determine whether Huang Xing'an belongs to ultra vires. Underestimation of the enemy is also a reason." Commander Qin said: "No matter how strong an enemy is, a Class A division shouldn't behave like this. The password was broken and the command post was destroyed. Those who are directly responsible for these incidents must be dealt with seriously." Political Commissar Zhou said, "Old Fang, is Fan Yingming going to do it? If not, just replace him." Fang Yingda said: "This can only be determined after studying the exercise memorandum of their headquarters. Judging from the situation after he returned to the command position, no serious mishandling has been found." Commander Qin said: "We won't discuss personnel issues for the exercise today. We will mainly discuss the possibility of carrying out the second stage of the exercise, as well as the issue of cost." Political Commissar Zhou continued: "The first stage of the exercise should also be evaluated. The performance of the Blue Army is quite exciting, and it should be rewarded immediately. The C Division has worked hard and taken the road of strengthening the army with science and technology. It has achieved results and must sum up experience in time. I don't think there's any need to discuss the issue of expenses, and it's necessary to deal with it. A Class A teacher behaves like this, which is a serious problem that makes people sleepless." Commander Qin said, "We're going to think about it in detail today." The meeting has been going on, and before you know it, it's getting dark.The three adults and two children of the Fang family sat silently facing a table of dishes.Longlong tried a few times, and finally reached out to grab a few slices of beef and started to eat it. Fang Yi knocked Longlong down on the sofa with a slap, stared and said, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat." Mrs. Zhu hurried over to hold Longlong in her arms, and scolded: "Girl, how old is he, what do you know? He hits the head no matter how serious it is. What if it breaks? If you want to spank, spank your butt." " Then Longlong burst into tears. Fang Yi stood up and shouted, "Cry, cry again." Longlong really didn't dare to cry. The old lady Zhu looked at Fang Yi and said, "Girl, what's going on with you today? Why aren't you happy when the old commander came back from the war?" Fang Yi couldn't care too much, and said to Mrs. Zhu: "It's not because of your good son!" Mrs. Zhu stood up, "What did Haipeng do wrong? Girl, tell me." Fang Yi sneered and said, "Hai Peng is very good! In two days, he defeated my father's ten thousand people." The old lady Zhu got serious, "That's not right, didn't you say that the old commander was in charge of Haipeng? Why would he beat himself?" Fang Yi laughed angrily, and said with gestures: "I, how can I tell you! Anyway, if your son wins, my dad can't come back for treatment..." The phone rang. Fang Yi picked it up and listened to it for a while, her face turned blue. Mrs. Zhu asked: "Girl, what happened?" Fang Yi took out her coat, "you can eat. My dad passed out in the meeting room." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared. Mrs. Zhu said to herself: "It must be Haipeng who made a mistake. This girl has never looked like this before. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest--"
