"236 people were killed, 228 were injured, 51 were seriously injured, and 2,854 enemies were wiped out." Gao Hongming was silent for a long time while looking at the report in his hand.
Sitting in the tent were almost all the officers of the Liantai Militia at battalion level and above. They were all here for the military meeting.
This kind of meeting has also been a rule of the Liantai Militia since its establishment. After every battle, all participating troops must hold such a meeting. The purpose is to discuss the gains and losses of the battle, study the gains and losses, and learn lessons.
Facts have proved that this kind of seminar is very effective. The fact that the Liantai Vigilante Group has grown to this point in less than two years is certainly due to Gao Hongming's golden finger, but it is also related to this kind of seminar.
Seeing Gao Hongming in a daze, Xiao Zhankui comforted him: "Tuanzuo, the enemy's losses are several times ours."
Gao Hongming sighed softly: "But our firepower is several times that of theirs. These brothers who died in the battle are old and young. Now hundreds of families have lost their sons, husbands and fathers!
"
Xiao Zhankui opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Did Gao Hongming make a mistake? No? After all, as the old saying goes, human life matters.
But then again, the most worthless thing these days is people.
Human life is like a piece of grass. Let’s not talk about it elsewhere, let’s talk about the original Liantai County. In the winter, a group of people often freeze to death and starve to death on the streets. These people are lucky enough to be wrapped in a mat and thrown into a mass grave. Unlucky.
The good ones even had their bodies eaten up by wild dogs.
After a long silence, Xiao Zhankui only said: "Actually, a large number of casualties in our troops this time were related to the sudden appearance of Japanese tank troops.
During the process of interspersing the siege, the first company went smoothly at first, until it encountered the Japanese command post, the enemy's situation became fierce, and finally a tank brigade was dispatched. In the end, if it were not for the timely support of the artillery battalion's heavy artillery, the first company
I’m afraid there aren’t many people left.”
Wu Chengfeng also nodded and said: "Facts have proved that we still lack an individual weapon that can effectively deal with Japanese tanks and solid bunkers."
As the two most senior members of the Liantai Vigilante Group, Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui's opinions were very important, and they also attracted Gao Hongming's attention.
After thinking for a while, Gao Hongming slowly nodded: "I did neglect this point. Over the past year or so, we have had a lot of dealings with the Japanese, but we have never had any contact with their tank troops.
Handed over.
This also led to my neglect of the Japanese tanks and my failure to equip the troops with anti-armor weapons in time. This is my fault, and I apologize to everyone here."
After speaking, Gao Hongming stood up and bowed to everyone.
Seeing Gao Hongming's actions, everyone present was startled. Many people almost jumped up and got out of the way, not daring to accept this gift.
"You can't use the group seat."
Fourth Battalion Commander Nong Tiancai waved his hands repeatedly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. There are so many people in our group, and so many things are waiting for your decision every day. If you had to worry about everything in detail, even gods would be too busy.
.
This is what we, the people, should have raised originally, because we, the people, have not done a good job, and you are going to embarrass us to death by doing this."
"Yes, Commander, you are embarrassing us like this." The officers all blushed. They, the grassroots officers, should have reminded Gao Hongming about this matter. Unexpectedly, Gao Hongming actually admitted his mistake in the end.
It's so embarrassing for them.
Seeing everyone standing up one after another, Gao Hongming waved his hand: "Okay, everyone, sit down, let's continue the meeting..."
After the meeting was over and everyone dispersed, it was already past nine o'clock in the night. After he relaxed, Gao Hongming realized that he was very hungry.
Since the war started today, there were hundreds of wounded soldiers, and the entire medical brigade immediately became busy. As the head of the medical brigade, Xie Wenqian naturally needed her to be there for consultation.
Looking at the empty tent, Gao Hongming asked the orderly to bring him a piece of field rations and ate them with boiled water.
Just when he was halfway through eating, Dabao came to report that someone was looking for him outside.
Looking at the erect and expressionless middle-aged man standing in front of him, Gao Hongming looked at the letters, photos and a pile of documents in the book, then looked at the other person, and said: "You first do something
Introduce yourself?"
"Sir, my name is Chi Yaohui. I graduated from the Staff Department of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany. I also met Shi Feng in Germany. Shi Feng found me a few days ago and said that you still lack a chief of staff here and recommended me to come over.
I wanted to try it, so I came over.”
Gao Hongming looked at the certificate in his hand and was silent.
The Liantai Militia has been lacking a chief of staff for a long time. The reason why there has been no chief of staff is that the Liantai Militia is not well-known and cannot attract high-quality staff officers. The main reason is that this position is too important and Gao Hongming is not willing to just find someone to take over.
.
You must know that this position is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. It can be said that once the chief of staff is appointed, he will be the biggest except Gao Hongming. If the entrustment is not done to someone, it will be too late to cry, so this position has always been empty.
With.
This is not to say that Gao Hongming is reluctant to delegate power. Talent is really hard to find.
Gao Hongming entrusted Shi Feng, the director of the Investigation Division, to look for a suitable chief of staff for more than half a year, but he only found one today. This shows how rare a qualified chief of staff is.
However, Gao Hongming is not too worried about this. There is only one reason, that is, the Berlin Military Academy in Germany is one of the best military academies in the world, especially the staff department, which can combine "one" and "two"
The wording is removed, this is recognized by the world.
The fact that Chi Yaohui graduated from here is enough to prove his excellence, but Gao Hongming still has a few questions to ask him.
"Chi Yaohui, you were recommended by Shi Feng. Logically speaking, there should be no problem with your background, but I still want to ask you. Shi Feng came here because his boss in the military command had molested his wife and he had him.
Left the army.
But what about you, did you also have a conflict with your original boss?"
"That's not true."
Chi Yaohui said honestly: "Because I don't want to be a rubber stamp in the original army for the rest of my life, Shi Feng sent me a letter exactly six months ago recommending me to be your chief of staff, so I came here."
Gao Hongming smiled slightly. Although Chi Yaohui's words were brief, they already explained a lot.
Shi Feng sent him a letter half a year ago, but he has not come here until now. This is enough to prove that he came here after careful consideration and not a momentary impulse. It can also be seen that he is a very cautious person.
And this is also an essential quality for a chief of staff.
Nodding, Gao Hongming stood up and extended his hand to him: "Then... congratulations, from now on, you will be the chief of staff of the Liantai Militia..."
