"Give electricity to Cao Xian, commander of the New Tenth Army, and let him speed up his march."

When Liang Xiao came to Jin this time, he didn't have a regular army under his command, so he didn't have the confidence to fight. Like this annihilation battle, because the third and second divisions retreated without authorization, the result was a defeat.

From this, he came to the conclusion that the troops were still reliable if they were created by themselves.

"Yes, the humble power generation urges them to speed up their march."

Chen Huadao.

The plan to annihilate the Matsushita Regiment went bankrupt because the [-]nd Division retreated without authorization.

Liang Xiao didn't directly trouble the 41nd Division, but asked the messengers to find Chen Tingjin, the commander of the [-]st Army.

Chen Tingjin, the sixth rank of Baoding Army, has friendship with many generals of Baoding Department. He has quite connections and reputation in the army. I heard that even Yan Laoxi regards him differently.

But Liang Xiao is different, with him, all generals are treated equally, no matter...

Which faction he is, which mountain top, as long as he is serious about fighting devils, he will be reused by him.

Ranking seniority based on seniority doesn't work here.

Command.

Chen Tingjin was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general and stood on the ground of the headquarters. He had already heard about the unauthorized retreat of the [-]nd Division, and he was very annoyed by it.

"Boss, I have come here under orders, please give me instructions."

Chen Jinjin stood at attention and saluted.

"Is the 41st Army the Central Army?"

Liang Xiao asked.

"The 41st Army belongs to the battle order of the Central Army."

Chen Jinjin replied.

Chapter 353 The Fighting Power Can't Be Complimented

"Then who am I"

Liang Xiao asked coldly.

"You are the deputy commander-in-chief of the second theater and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy."

Chen Jinjin said loudly.

"Is the 41st Army under my jurisdiction?"

Liang Xiao asked.

"The 41st Army is under your command."

Chen Jinjin said loudly.

"Then why my order doesn't work in the 41st Army"

Liang Xiao asked coldly.

Chen Jinjin is a smart man, he knew that Liang Xiao was talking about Zhu Youlun from the [-]rd, [-]nd and [-]nd Division.

"General, I will follow your orders unconditionally, but some people are just... disobedient, thinking that they can get away with it by being cautious, and I will never condone the existence of such scum. Please order, I will catch these people myself Scum, bring it to justice."

Chen Ting entered.

Liang Xiao saw that Chen Jinjin was doing his best, so he couldn't blame him, and said: "The 41rd and [-]nd Division is under the jurisdiction of the [-]st Army. This division defied the military order and suddenly withdrew its troops when the battle situation was good. Surrounded by the Matsushita Regiment, as the army commander, you have an unshirkable responsibility."

"Humble posts follow the general's order."

Chen Tingjin hurriedly said.

Liang Xiao waved his hand: "There is a grievance and a debtor. The 41nd Division is the principal offender. You are responsible for ineffective supervision. You will be fined for one year. You will be dismissed from the position of commander of the 41st Army and temporarily act as the commander of the [-]st Army. How will you pay back in the future?" If something like this happens, don’t be an army commander, go home and farm.”

"Yes, I guarantee that a similar situation will never happen again in the future."

Chen Jinjin hurriedly said, his punishment is considered light, and the one-year salary penalty has little impact on him. After all, he no longer needs to rely on his salary to support his family, and he can get enough money for his family's living expenses. Well, as for the dismissal of his position as army commander, that is just to put on airs, as everyone knows, he dismissed his army commander and let him act as temporary army commander.

"As the commander of the army, if such a serious matter happened to the [-]nd Division, you should investigate it immediately."

Liang Xiao said.

"Humble job understands."

Chen Tingjin sighed in his heart. How could he not understand that Liang Xiao was going to take the [-]nd Division for surgery this time? The division commander and chief of staff were shot ten times.

"Go."

Liang Xiao waved his hand.

"Yes."

Chen Jinjin went out from the headquarters.

"Report."

The staff officer came in through the door: "General, I just received the latest battle report. The Japanese army launched an attack on Tuqiao Town. The defenders are the independent brigade of No.90 Seventh Army. Just over an hour after the battle started, the independent brigade lost Tuqiao Town. outlying positions."

Liang Xiao turned his gaze to the military map, and asked, "Which Japanese unit is attacking Tuqiao?"

"The Independent Brigade said in a telegram that the Second Battalion of the Division [-]th Regiment attacking Tuqiao has about a thousand troops, and its combat effectiveness is very strong."

Staff said.

"How many troops does the Independent Brigade have?"

Liang Xiao "about 4000 troops."

Staff said.

"More than 4000 people, fighting for more than an hour, lost the outer positions, which is worse than a rice bucket."

Liang Xiao was really angry. With a force ratio of one to four, he couldn't even defend the outlying positions for a long time, and lost them after more than an hour. Could it be that the soldiers of the Independent Brigade were holding fire sticks in their hands?

"The Independent Brigade asks the general headquarters to quickly reinforce, and if it is too late, Tuqiao Town will be lost."

Staff said.

"Take over from the 97th Army."

Liang Xiao was full of anger, the military discipline of the national army in North China was lax, and the combat effectiveness was so unbearable, I really don't know how Wei Lihuang won the battle.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately turned around to answer the call from the 97th Army headquarters.

"Hello, Commander Wang, I'm Liang Xiao."

"Hello general, the humble king has talent, please give me instructions."

"Your independent brigade was beaten by a Japanese brigade in Tuqiao Town, and even lost its outlying positions. You immediately ordered the nearby troops to provide support."

"Yes, Beizhi immediately issued an order to the nearby troops, but the nearest troops are more than ten kilometers away from the earth bridge, at least...... It will take more than two hours to arrive."

"For more than two hours, it is estimated that you, a cowardly brigade, have lost Tuqiao Town long ago. Let me tell you, Tuqiao is the main traffic route from southeast Shanxi to Shaanxi. Don't lose it. If Tuqiao is lost, you will kill yourself. Thank you people."

After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, he will not be used to this group of national army generals.

The Independent Brigade is a unit of the 97th Army, and the 97th Army belongs to the Baoding Department of the Central Army in the National Army. The equipment of the troops is not bad. Although it is the official equipment of the Central Committee, it is equipped with more than 20 [-] infantry guns and mortars. And the grenade, the combat effectiveness is not bad.

But with this kind of troops, the devils took over the outer positions in just over an hour.

Liang Xiao felt that this could not go on like this, he had to find a way to strengthen the combat quality of the generals of the Central Army, otherwise, what would be the difference between them and the mob.

"Adjutant Chen."

Liang Xiao shouted outside.

"arrive."

Chen Hua hurried in and said, "General, what's the matter?"

"Drop the backbone from the special warfare brigade, and select a few eloquent officers from the combat staff at the headquarters to set up a temporary officer training class. There are good and bad generals in the central army in North China. It's time to teach them. These people in the province are ashamed of themselves on the battlefield."

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"Yes, I'll let the Special Operations Brigade deploy competent personnel now."

Chen Huadao.

"Don't rush."

Liang Xiaodao: "The [-]rd and [-]nd Divisions are ashamed and disobedient on the battlefield. Is there any news from the Northern Bureau?"

"Not yet, but there should be results soon."

Chen Huadao.

"You urged them to get the reasons for the [-]nd Division's disobedience on the battlefield as soon as possible. If my intuition is correct, the [-]nd Division must have the eyes of the Japanese invaders. Otherwise, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops when the battlefield situation was good? In line with the Central Army's combat style, there are only two explanations, the [-]nd Division is plotting to surrender to Japan, or the division commander or deputy division commander of the [-]nd Division intends to preserve their strength."

Liang Xiao said.

"General, why don't you send someone from the Law Enforcement Department to the [-]nd Division, and bring the division commander, deputy division commander, and chief of staff, and ask them to clarify everything."

Chen Huadao.

"No, if the [-]nd Division is plotting to surrender to Japan, we will send people from the Law Enforcement Office over there. They will only startle the enemy and drive them to the side of the Japanese invaders. For now, don't take any action. We will make a decision after the investigation is clear. ....

For what reason did the [-]nd Division disobey orders and withdraw without authorization, the commanders of the division could not escape the fate of being shot."

Liang Xiao just took advantage of this incident to shock the morale of the army, and let those... those who dare to disobey orders on the battlefield will end up like this.

"The general is more thoughtful."

Chen Huadao.

Chapter 534 The military law is ruthless, and the king of Hades is ruthless

Several hours passed.

The Northern Bureau of Military Control reported back the news: It has been found out that the reason why the [-]nd Division resisted orders on the battlefield and retreated privately was due to the instigation of the Chief of Staff Hao Yonggang, and the division commander Zhu Youlun made a final decision. .

Liang Xiao read the telegram from the Northern Bureau of Military Command, and immediately called Zhu Youlun, commander of the [-]nd Division, and Hao Yonggang, chief of staff, to the headquarters in the name of the general headquarters.

Of course, he also considered that these two people would make a series of evasive actions out of fear.

Chen Jinjin of the 41st Army has secretly mobilized troops to block the front and back roads of the 41nd Division. As long as the [-]nd Division has any abnormal actions, the rest of the [-]st Army will immediately clear the door.

Therefore, he is not afraid that the third and second division will jump over the wall in a hurry.

This time, he not only called Zhu Youlun and Hao Yonggang, but also called the commanders of several armies. If anyone really couldn't come, he could ask the deputy and the representative of the chief of staff to come.

the next day.

Ten o'clock in the morning::.

As soon as Liang Xiao got up, the staff officer came to report, representatives of several army commanders came, Zhu Youlun and Hao Yonggang also arrived.

He washed up under the service of Chen Hua, and went to the headquarters meeting room.

meeting room.

The commanders or representatives of all armies have arrived, and Liang Xiao stepped on his long leather boots and walked in.

As soon as he entered, all the officers hurriedly stood at attention, keeping their expressions respectful.

Liang Xiao came to the head of the meeting table, glanced at the generals attending the meeting, and asked the staff behind him: "Who didn't come?"

"The commander of the 97th Army and the commander of the [-]th Division did not come."

The staff officer hurriedly said.

"The 97th Army is wiping their butts in Tuqiao Town, so it makes sense if they can't come."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

After speaking.

He looked at the generals at the conference table: "Everyone, it's really nothing to call everyone together, just... I want to teach you two words."

"General Liang, the humble job is a graduate of Peking University. After graduation, he entered the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy for three years. After graduation, he worked as a platoon leader and served in the army for many years. He can be considered to know some words. I don't know which two words you want to teach us all."

A major general said extremely unconvinced.

"These two words are military orders. Some of you seem to have forgotten the meaning of the word military orders."
