    While the Eighteenth Army was still fighting fiercely with the Communist army on the north bank of the Wohe River, at the headquarters of the Twelfth Corps in Mengcheng City, Huang Weizheng summoned the senior staff and commanders of the Twelfth Corps and urgently opened a  This meeting was still aimed at the combat policy of the Twelfth Corps at this time. Because the Eighteenth Army was fighting, neither Yang Tao nor his division commanders were able to participate.

    The meeting was still chaired by Commander Huang Wei. On the table in front of his seat, there was a folder. In this folder, there was a top-secret urgent telegram sent by the Ministry of Defense. Only he read it.  Although he was skeptical about the contents of this telegram, he still kept it in front of his desk, not knowing how to communicate it to his subordinates.

    Chief of Staff Xiao was the last one to walk into the venue. He looked tired and his blue eye sockets were sunken. It was obvious at a glance that he had stayed up all night again.  After seeing him arrive, Commander Huang Wei announced the start of the meeting.

    First of all, Deputy Chief of Staff Wen Xiu introduced in detail to several senior commanders and staff present the situation of several units of the 12th Corps fighting the enemy around Mengcheng in the past two days. At the end of the speech, Deputy Chief of Staff Wen was not disappointed.  He said anxiously: "The Tenth Army and the Fourteenth Army have broken through the Wohe River. The Eighteenth Army is currently advancing towards the Huangjiazhuang and Chendazhuang areas on the north bank of the Wohe River. Commander Yang Tao promised that before dark today, the north of the Wohe River can be cleared.  Despite the enemy on the shore, the situation is still very good for us!"

    Huang Wei nodded and motioned to Chief of Staff Wen to sit down, but turned to Chief of Staff Xiao and asked, "Old Xiao, what do you think?"

    Chief of Staff Xiao stood up, shook his head, and said without concern: "I don't see a bright future! On the contrary, I feel that our 12th Corps is in a precarious situation at this time!"

    As soon as he said this, Deputy Chief of Staff Wen's face immediately turned red. He stretched out his hand to push his eyes out of habit, coughed dryly, and did not answer.

    Huang Wei also frowned. Of course he knew what Chief of Staff Xiao was referring to. In the last military meeting, Chief of Staff Xiao and Commander Yang Tao had already made it very clear. It had only been two days since the situation had changed.  Although there have been changes, the changes are not too big.

    Seeing that no one came out to speak, Chief of Staff Xiao said: "However, generally speaking, since we formulated a combat plan with Mengcheng as the core, the situation for our 12th Corps has somewhat improved. Now Mengcheng  It is a hub of our 12th Corps. Both land and water supply lines have been opened, reaching Bengbu. Tugboats and trucks are full of grain, grass and ammunition. The 10th Army, 14th Army and 18th Army are also successfully clearing Mengcheng.  As long as we adhere to this combat policy among the Communist forces around us, we will be invincible!"

    Everyone nodded. Chief of Staff Xiao's plan was indeed a safe and positive approach. Huang Wei also nodded, but his face looked very pale.

    Chief of Staff Xiao took a map he carried with him and asked his adjutant to hang it on the wall. Then he walked to the map, took out his teaching stick, and said to Huang Wei: "Jun Zuo, last time you asked me to make some feasible combat plans.  I didn't dare to neglect, so I patrolled the area for several days and asked around, and finally completed it last night."

    Huang Wei nodded and said nothing.

    Chief of Staff Xiao pointed at the map and said to everyone: "I have three suggestions for the use of troops here. The first case is to use one army to guard the Mengcheng line. I think the Tenth Army and the Eighteenth Division can be used. Among them, the  One division occupies the line between Nainai Temple and Nanping Ji as the outpost of Mengcheng. Then, two armies turn eastward and move toward the Jinpu Railway. These two armies can be used by the Eighteenth Army and the Fourteenth Army.  Finally, another army was sent back to Fuyang and was responsible for maintaining the safety of the communication line between Fuyang and Mengcheng. It served as the support of the Corps to achieve the purpose of attacking when advancing and defending when retreating! The 85th Army was at this time  Fuyang hasn¡¯t come over yet, so we can leave this task to them!¡±

    Everyone nodded, Chief of Staff Xiao¡¯s consideration was indeed both offensive and defensive, very appropriate.

    However, Huang Wei just nodded and still did not answer.

    Chief of Staff Xiao continued: "In this second case, one army will defend Mengcheng, one army will cross the river, and one army will turn eastward. The tasks of the three are the same as those in the first case. The 85th Army is still the same as the first case.  . The Fourteenth Army can be used to defend Meng City, the Tenth Army can be used to cross the river, and the Eighteenth Army can be used to fight eastward!"

    Huang Wei still just nodded and said nothing.

    Chief of Staff Xiao added: "The third case is more positive. The Tenth Army and the Fourteenth Army can be used to cross the river. However, the task is to attack further than the first case. If it is favorable, continue to advance towards Xuzhou.  If there is no gain in occupying Su County, then confront the enemy and wait for the opportunity. The 18th Army still advances eastward according to the first case, relying on the Jinpu Railway; and??We must put the overall situation first and not be too selfish!  "

    This sentence choked Chief of Staff Xiao to death, as if his calculations in the past two days were all for himself. He was so angry that his lower abdomen ached. He forced himself to hold his lower abdomen and insisted: "Jin Zuo,  We must not obey this order from the Ministry of National Defense. If our 12th Corps continues to advance north, we will simply fall into a trap! Please call the commander back to Shangfeng again and force him to withdraw the order!"

    Hearing what Chief of Staff Xiao said, Huang Wei's face became more serious, and he said eloquently: "Chief of Staff Xiao, what you said is so outrageous! We as soldiers have to go through fire and water. If we know what lies ahead,  If there is danger, you don't move forward, but instead ask the higher-ups to change the order. What's going on? Are you still a soldier?"

    Chief of Staff Xiao felt that his abdominal pain became more and more severe, and big beads of sweat rolled down his face. He suppressed his pain and still persisted: "General military orders abroad will not be tolerated. Those people from the Ministry of National Defense are far away."  How can we know our current situation hundreds of miles away? When problems arise, they will completely shirk the responsibility! When Deputy Commander Hu was here to reorganize the 18th Army Commander,  We have repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the Ministry of Defense, and as long as we can win the war, we can throw the Ministry of Defense aside!"

    As soon as he heard Chief of Staff Xiao mentioning Hu Congjun, Huang Wei couldn't help but get angry. With a bang, he slapped the table, stood up at the same time, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean? Now I am twelve  Hu Congjun is not the commander of the corps yet! If you think that following me would compromise your talents, you can wait until Hu Congjun is truly the commander!"

    Chief of Staff Xiao felt that he had eaten a big blowfly alive, and his lower abdomen was so violently painful that a wave of heat rose from below and went straight to his throat. His throat couldn't help but feel sweet, and his head tilted to the side.  With a "wow" sound, he spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his body fell to one side. A staff officer beside him quickly supported him with quick hands and eyes.

    The venue became increasingly quiet, and everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

    Seeing that Officer Xiao was so angry, Huang Wei also felt that what he just said was too hurtful. He sat back in his seat, his face softened, and his words became much gentler, but he explained to everyone: "National Defense"  We still have to obey the orders of the Ministry! If we don¡¯t go, I can¡¯t bear this responsibility!¡±

    Everyone was silent.

    At this time, Chief of Staff Xiao also calmed down, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood around his mouth, and said to Huang Wei: "Commander Huang, I have a stomach problem again, and it is no longer possible for me to hold such an important position, so I kindly ask your permission."  I resign as the chief of staff of the Corps, and I will go back to Nanjing for treatment tonight on the special food truck!"

    Huang Wei was startled for a moment, nodded, and then said, "Let's talk about this later!" However, from his words, everyone could tell that he had agreed to Chief of Staff Xiao's resignation.

    Seeing that no one in the venue came out to object, Huang Wei forced a smile and said to everyone: "There are just a few small communist bandits over there. Our 12th Corps has the 18th Army and the 10th Army."  There is also an elite force like the 14th Army. What is there to be afraid of! I decided that the three armies that have already crossed the river: the 18th Army, the 10th Army and the 14th Army will each launch an attack on the enemy in front of them today.  We must capture Suxian on the 20th and arrive near Xuzhou. In addition, after the 85th Army arrived in Mengcheng, one division was left to guard Mengcheng, and the rest of the troops followed with the three armies!"

    Hearing Huang Wei¡¯s arrangement, everyone looked at each other in shock. It was like driving ducks across the river, rushing forward without any rules!

    Four or five staff officers and division commanders raised their hands and asked to speak, but at this time Commander-in-Chief Huang was not willing to waste time here anymore. He waved his hands, stood up first, and announced loudly: "Okay,  This matter has been decided, let¡¯s adjourn the meeting!¡±

    Chief of Staff Xiao felt that the pain in his lower abdomen, which had gradually calmed down just now, started to hurt again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
