Chapter 255 Whose Home Field Is It?
After Fubao set off, the troops began to prepare for the Battle of Peking.
At the general combat meeting, the Red Army commander-in-chief Lin Feng was seated at the last seat.
Lin Feng sat on the chair and gritted his teeth secretly, thinking: "Okay, okay, this is how you treat your friendly forces, right?"
He really wanted to slam the table on the spot, but then he remembered the repeated instructions Comrade Quansheng had given him before he left.
Comrade Quansheng told him that now they were on a united front and he must take the overall situation into consideration and consult with Luo Jiu more often when encountering problems.
Lin Feng thought about it and thought, yes, we have fewer soldiers after all. In the Battle of Taicheng, we had 20,000 soldiers, and the friendly forces were five times as many as us.
But these 20,000 people are already one-third of our military strength. We can't use all 60,000 or 70,000 of them to attack us, right?
If Lao Jiang turns against us, the whole army will be wiped out.
Besides, another 20,000 reinforcements will arrive in half a month, and the local guerrilla county battalion and district squad are also cooperating in the battle.
Although our Air Force Special Operations Division only has five people, it has played a key role in every battle. If we really calculate the contribution on the battlefield, it should be 50-50 between us and the friendly forces, right?
Lin Feng sat on the bench with mixed feelings.
As the commander-in-chief, he has to sit in this position. I wonder how much injustice Luo Jiu and the others have suffered here during this period of time.
But when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Lin Feng was thinking about exchanging ideas with Luo Jiu after the meeting, comforting each other, and secretly scolding Qin Gang, the old guy.
Just as he was thinking about it, other division commanders of the friendly forces came in one after another.
Qin Gang was a smart guy. He smiled as soon as he came up to him, took the initiative to extend his hand, and tried to get close to him. "Commander Lin, did you have a good rest last night?"
Lin Feng smiled and exchanged a few words with him, then Qin Gang pulled out the stool next to him and sat down with him at the last seat.
Lin Feng remained expressionless, but was extremely surprised in his heart.
In his opinion, the newly promoted Division Commander Qin is a hot figure in the friendly army. Although he is only a lieutenant colonel at present, after the victory in Taicheng, it will only take a blink of an eye for him to be promoted to colonel.
Isn't he the most important person here? Didn't he arrange this seat? Why is he sitting at the last seat?
In fact, Lin Feng guessed correctly. The seating arrangement was indeed arranged by Qin Gang, but he also had his considerations.
A month ago, the two sides were still enemies. At least three or four divisions of the troops that came to reinforce the battle had fought against the troops brought by Lin Feng. Although they were now on a united front, they were still somewhat emotional.
He wanted to arrange Commander Lin to the front position, but was afraid that the brother troops would have objections.
After thinking about it, I decided not to offend anyone.
Arranging Lin Feng at the last seat seemed to give him a warning and make others calm down. He also didn't sit idle, so he sat at the last seat to accompany others, so that Lin Feng, Luo Jiu and others would not come back to trouble him.
Lin Feng had no idea what was going on in Qin Gang's mind. He looked at the confused arrangement of the seats. People around him sat down one after another, but a few main seats were left empty. Who were they for?
While I was wondering, I heard the captain of the guard outside the door shout "salute" and all the guards raised their guns to salute.
Leather boots made crisp footsteps on the ground. Tian Siyu pushed open the door and reminded softly, "Commander Luo and the others are here."
The senior generals of the friendly forces who had just sat down around him stood up one after another, and the room was filled with the sound of chairs rubbing against the floor.
Lin Feng didn't react for a moment and was unable to keep up, and was the last one to stand up.
He looked towards the door in surprise, only to see Luo Jiu, Feng Qi, Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing striding in.
They were all dressed in military uniforms and leather boots, walking with their heads held high and looking very imposing.
Luo Jiu glanced at everyone, his eyes passed over Lin Feng who was sitting at the last seat, he paused, then looked at Qin Gang again, and understood.
She raised her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
The four of them sat down first, and then the division-level commanders of the friendly forces sat down one by one. Lin Feng was accidentally half a beat late.
There was a wide table in the conference room. Luo Jiu and Feng Qi sat on the left and right seats, facing Lin Feng and Qin Gang at the end. Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing sat on both sides of Luo Jiu and Feng Qi.
After everyone sat down, Cheng Yaoyao took out her notebook and began to read out the charter of the meeting.
Tian Siyu and Zhu Jiumei hung up the hand-drawn siege diagram by Luo Jiu. Everyone looked at the diagram and discussed which tactics should be used here and which unit should be responsible there. Lin Feng stared at the diagram, but his mind was thinking about something completely unrelated.
Whose home turf is this? When did we start leading our allies?
The combat meeting lasted for two days. During these two days, Lu Qingyun, like Zhu Jiumei, Tian Siyu and others, listened from the side and everyone became familiar with each other.
After the meeting, Lu Qingyun came to say goodbye.
"Commander Luo, I want to go back."
Luo Jiu nodded. "The excuse your father used on the phone was that your grandma was sick. You've been here for two days. Will they find out?"
Lu Qingyun smiled and said, “Yesterday my father took time out to take me to the countryside to sweep my grandmother’s grave, which can be considered a visit.
Those who know the ins and outs here are all old subordinates that my father trusts.
For those who don't know the inside story, I just said that I visited my grandmother and her condition has temporarily improved, so I can return to work.
This excuse can still be used next time."
Luo Jiu chuckled, "I hope I didn't cause you any trouble this time."
Lu Qingyun said: "To be honest, I work in the General Office and know a little bit about the inside story.
Before the mutiny, the young marshal sent at least five or six telegrams requesting unity in dealing with the outside world, but they were all shelved one by one.
I think the two generals launched the mutiny out of helplessness, they did it out of a sincere desire to save the country and the people.
What does it matter if I do my bit for such a patriot, even if it means taking a little risk? "
Luo Jiu showed some approval in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so bold. In this respect, you are not like your father at all.
I think Old Lu is used to looking ahead and behind. He has to think about everything and weigh the pros and cons before he can make a decision. "
Lu Qingyun smiled and said, "Perhaps, I am more like my mother. My mother is a very fearless person.
Twenty years ago, she escaped from her marriage and ran to the military base on foot.
She insisted on joining the army. My father was just a small company commander at the time, and the army did not recruit female soldiers. But my mother said that if she was not allowed to join the army, she would be caught and married to an old cripple. She would rather die than agree.
She gave my father a choice: either enlist her or kill her.”
Luo Jiu's smile froze on his face, and Lu Qingyun continued: "Later, my father thought of a way. He said that I don't have the power to let you join the army, but I won't kill you. How about this, if you don't want to marry that dead cripple, marry me. If I join the army, isn't it the same as our family joining the army?
My mother thought about it for less than three minutes before agreeing immediately. The two of them got their marriage certificate that day, and later I was born.”
Luo Jiu asked her nervously, "What's your mother's name?"
