    When the reorganized 11th Brigade arrived in Runan, it was already afternoon.  Before them, the other two brigades reorganized into the 11th Division had also arrived at Runan City safely.  After arriving in Runan, Hu Congjun informed Director Zhang Zhen of Xinyang about the reorganization of the 11th Division. This was already a matter of killing first and reporting later.  Faced with this situation, Director Zhang had no choice but to report the truth to the Ministry of National Defense.

    Runan City is just a transition. Hu Congjun wants to integrate the brigades of the 11th Division here, and then transfer the units back to their original stations for rest.  First of all, of course, a summary meeting of the Shangcai battle must be held to analyze the gains and losses of reorganizing the 11th Division on that battlefield.  Everyone is very objective. Generally speaking, although the reorganization of the 11th Division seemed a bit passive at the beginning of the battle, in the subsequent reaction, Hu Congjun clearly built a plank road and secretly crossed Chencang. The plan was very successful, and the two main brigades killed  He fired a carbine, reversed the passive situation in one fell swoop, and in the later stages of the battle, he once took the initiative on the battlefield. If we look at the battlefield of Shangcai alone, the national army should be victorious.  It can be seen from the statistics of casualties on both sides after the war that the reorganized 11th Division suffered a total of about 4,000 casualties, while the casualties of the three columns of the People's Liberation Army were twice that of the reorganized 11th Division, reaching 8,000, and nearly 8,000 casualties.  Six hundred men were captured.  However, if we look at the Battle of Shangcai and the Battle of Kaifeng together, then there is no doubt that Hu Congjun lost the Battle of Shangcai and Liu Xinghua won.  Liu Xinghua successfully delayed the reorganized 11th Division from entering Kaifeng's forward battlefield, creating favorable conditions for the People's Liberation Army to successfully capture Kaifeng and annihilate the defenders.

    Just when Hu Congjun was sitting with the brigade commanders and staff officers in Runan to discuss the gains and losses of the Battle of Shangcai, President Chiang's direct call came suddenly. When Adjutant Liu walked into the venue to report the president's request.  When talking to Commander Hu on the phone, everyone present could not help but be stunned.  This kind of thing is very rare. President Chiang has many things to do, but at this time he wants to talk to Hu Congjun on the phone, and does not use telegrams or hand metaphors to convey his orders. This is also very abnormal.  Could it be Du Du's favor for Hu Congjun?

    Hu Congjun was also stunned for a moment, handed over the chair of the meeting to Chief of Staff Xiao, then stood up and walked out of the venue, following Adjutant Liu.  Zhang Xian looked at his leaving back. The moment he walked out of the conference room, he could clearly see him waving his hands to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

    The weather in June was really too hot. Although the doors and windows of the conference room were opened and a little wind blew in, it could not dispel the stuffy heat in the entire venue.

    Chief of Staff Xiao said a few words casually and continued to preside over it unintentionally, allowing everyone to discuss freely.  In fact, at this time, everyone was guessing something, but it was not the battle of Shangcai that was over, but what the president would say to Commander Hu when he called himself.

    Xu Haibo was sitting next to Zhang Xian. At this time, he couldn't help but turn his head and get in front of Zhang Xian. He asked with some worry: "Axian, shouldn't the president blame Commander Hu for withdrawing troops from the Shangcai battlefield?"

    Zhang Xian was also muttering this question in his heart, nodded, and guessed: "Maybe!"

    Xu Haibo was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask: "Do you think he will remove Commander Hu?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, shook his head decisively, and replied: "No!"

    "How can you be so sure?"

    Zhang Xian glanced at him and said leisurely: "Commander Hu is a victorious general in the national army. On the battlefield of the Central Plains here, Qiu Yuqing of the Fifth Army can compete with him. Besides, if he  Without the Eighteenth Army, who else can take on the important task of commander of the Eighteenth Army? I¡¯m afraid no one who comes here will be able to convince the public!"

    Hearing what Zhang Xian said, Xu Haibo also nodded. Indeed, looking at so many generals in the national army, unless they were promoted from the 18th Army, it is really difficult to find another military commander as suitable as Hu Congjun.  Besides, after so many years of hard work, Hu Congjun reorganized the 18th Army. From division commanders and brigade commanders to regiment commanders and battalion commanders, all the people he had won over were all people he had won over. If someone else came here, they would not be able to do it at all.  Don't move this group of people.

    "I think that even if the president comes to Commander Hu for this matter, the most he can do is scold him!" Finally, Zhang Xian guessed so.

    Xu Haibo agreed deeply and felt relieved.

    However, despite what he said, Zhang Xian still felt a little uneasy. He suddenly thought of Commander Luo Da during the battle to defend Changde. Commander Luo defended Changde, which was obvious to everyone in the world, but President Chiang was not aware of it at all.  I can't see that if it weren't for the interference of many people in the Military Commission and the Central Committee, Roda would have been killed long ago.  If President Chiang really gets confused, it will seriously destroy the reorganized Eighteenth Army.When I was in Caizhou, I also stayed in Runan and wrote a poem: The achievements of Huaixi are the highest in the Tang Dynasty, and the official articles are shining brightly.  "

    "Haha, this allusion is so hilarious!" After listening to Zhang Xian's explanation, Xiong Sanwa finally said this sentence.

    Zhang Xian could only shake his head secretly. He had been talking for so long, and he was afraid that the guards just thought they were listening to the story, just like Xiong Sanwa. In the end, they just ended with this sentence and had no other thoughts at all.  However, when he turned his head to look at Hu Congjun, he found that his commander was deep in thought again, as if he had received some inspiration from the stories he told.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
