    "That student, do you have any questions?" Minister He saw Zhang Xian at a glance and was attracted by this handsome young man. Seeing him looking at him intently, he couldn't help but ask.

    Yu Changle, who was sitting next to Zhang Xian, pushed him and then realized what he was doing. He quickly stood up and asked Commander Fang, "I am Zhang Xian from the 57th Division of the 74th Army.  During the Battle of Changde, the 17th Division was ordered to defend Changde City. The Tenth Army led by Commander Fang was the force that was to assist Changde. However, Commander Fang failed to arrive in Changde in time according to the deadline of the Military Commission.  As a result, the 57th Division was almost completely annihilated by the enemy and Changde fell. For this, I, like all the officers and soldiers of the 57th Division who are still alive today, deeply hate the commander of the other side. I heard what Commander Fang said today about Hengyang  The situation in the defense battle was almost exactly the same as that in Changde. I wonder how Commander Fang felt at that time when the city was destroyed, reinforcements were exhausted, ammunition was exhausted, and there were no men left? Have you ever thought of the situation of the 57th Division in Changde?"

    As soon as Zhang Xian's question came out, Commander Fang was already very embarrassed. The topic of Changde was now a thorn in his heart.  He stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang Xian, which surprised everyone present.  For a long time, Commander Fang's eyes were red and he said with some choking: "I'm sorry, it's only today that I know the mood of Commander Luo of the 57th Division. Indeed, during the battle of Changde, as the main general who supported Changde, I did not  It was only by fulfilling my duty that friendly forces suffered. It wasn¡¯t until this moment fell on me that I deeply understood what Commander Luo felt back then." He said a little sadly, and then said: "  I think that if our national army wants to defeat the enemy in the future, only if everyone puts aside their past grudges and cooperates sincerely can we be invincible."

    Everyone applauded. Indeed, Commander Fang spoke to everyone's heart at this moment.

    Zhang Xian also applauded and nodded, but said to Minister He: "Jin Zuo, in the several wars I have experienced, I think one of the key reasons for the failure of our national army is insufficient coordination among various ministries.  Insufficient cooperation means that many troops cannot have an overall overall concept, which leads to the overall failure. Take this Hengyang defense battle as an example. Each troop took turns to fight, so they were defeated by the enemy one by one, which was ten times the number.  So what can we do with twenty times the strength? If all the troops can coordinate operations, go into battle together, and advance and retreat together, I think even if the enemy¡¯s weapons are much more advanced than ours, they won¡¯t be able to defeat so many of us!¡±

    Everyone nodded, and He Yingqin also nodded. Didn't he know that Zhang Xian mentioned a flaw in the national army's combat, but as the commander-in-chief of the army, he naturally knew the underlying reason, but he couldn't.  When I say it here, I can only say: "You are right. There are indeed many military leaders in our national army who are too selfish and have no overall concept of the situation. However, this is also the reality of our national army. Now, everyone  It is not easy to be able to work together to fight against the Japanese. Haha, everyone knows that since the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Republic of China, although the country has been reunifying, warlords in various places have been separatist and even fighting.  , It is indeed a misfortune for our country and our nation. As for the coordinated operations of the armies mentioned by Zhang Xian, the Military Commission has been working very hard in this regard. One of the reasons for the Army General Headquarters that is now being established is also to cooperate with our American allies.  Military coordination.¡±

    Zhang Xian was not satisfied with Minister He's answer, but he also knew that in this situation, as an important member of the national army, he could only speak in an official tone and be vague.

    ***************

    This year has finally passed. While time has taken away the memories, it has also taken away the shame of the national army.

    The Spring Festival of the 34th year of the Republic of China was approaching, and the school had a half-month winter vacation. Zhang Xian took a flight from the military airport in Chongqing back to Zhijiang in western Hunan.  His second brother Zhang Ren was the ace pilot in the Sino-US Air Force at this time. Zhang Xian and his brother often communicated, and they were all sent by the pilots at the airport. There were round-trip flights between Zhijiang Airport and Chongqing every day.  Transport plane, Pan Fei, the mechanic who knew Zhang Xian in Kunming, is now the captain of this transport plane. It is precisely because of this convenient condition that Zhang Xian can quickly return to Xiangxi, which makes his classmates  He was envious. After all, half a month's vacation was too short. Without this convenience, if Zhang Xian wanted to go back to western Hunan, he would have to take a military vehicle for seven or eight days.

    At Zhijiang Airport, Zhang Xian, his brother Zhang Ren, and his old friend Mike stayed for a day, and then boarded a military vehicle back to Changde. They returned to Changde in only two days.

    Returning to Changde a year later, Zhang Xian couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The city had stood up from the ruins again. The hard-working people once again defeated the damage caused by the war with their own hands and turned a beautiful city into a beautiful city.It shouldn't matter.  " Zhang Xian said.

    Xu Haibo sighed and said: "I hope it doesn't matter, but if Commander Hu or Commander Yang comes to ask you, as long as you can answer truthfully, I will be very grateful to you."

    Zhang Xian laughed again and nodded in agreement, but he disagreed in his heart. As a guest in the 18th Army, how could Commander Hu and Commander Yang ask him for advice?

    ***************

    However, sometimes, there will always be an outsider who unknowingly decides the fate of an unrelated person, just like when Chief Chen decided whether Hu Congjun and Peng Tianguang should stay or go.  What's more, for Zhang Xian, neither Xu Haibo nor Wang Jiang are people who have nothing to do with him.

    Before the Spring Festival, Commander Hu also held a Spring Festival tea party for the 18th Army and invited Zhang Xian to attend. At this time, Zhang Xian appeared as Wang Jinna's husband and was a guest.

    At the meeting, Zhang Xian met many colonels and generals in the Eighteenth Army. These people were his colleagues and comrades, and they all knew each other by name.  As soon as Mr. Yang Tao saw his old subordinate, he became very enthusiastic and talked a lot with him. As Xu Haibo expected, he asked him about his impressions of Xu and Wang.  At this moment, Zhang Xian suddenly felt that he was deciding the fate of others again. He thought for a long time and answered truthfully, telling Mr. Yang that Xu Haibo was much more capable than Wang Jiang.  Teacher Yang nodded and did not ask any more questions.

    Soon after the Spring Festival, Xu Haibo was promoted to Zhang Muli's deputy commander, and Wang Jiang was still the commander of the guard battalion.

    Zhang Xian didn¡¯t know that there is no airtight wall. Everyone was rumored that in the competition for the deputy commander of the 33rd Regiment, it was Zhang Xian who finally made the suggestion to Commander Yang.  As a result, Wang Jiang deeply hated his classmate.

    ***************

    The Spring Festival holiday ended soon, and Zhang Xian had to return to Chongqing again to continue his studies at Mainland China.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
