my bright sword career

Chapter 639
Facing the angry Gao Hongming, everyone in the tent fell silent.

Regardless of any army, what matters is the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower.

Everyone understands why Gao Hongming gets angry. In fact, these days, many of them are really a little bit flustered.

Being far away from the mainland, holding a heavy army, and Chi Yaohui's prestige in the army is much worse than that of Gao Hongming, which also led to some bad signs.

For example, when everyone disagrees, many battalion commanders will express different opinions, resulting in Chi Yaohui's orders being unable to be implemented in a timely and effective manner.

Some people may say, isn't it normal for a group to have different opinions?

Those who say this please note that this is the army, and different opinions are allowed in the army, but when the commander makes the final decision, as long as the order is not fundamentally wrong, the people below must unconditionally implement it.

This is a matter of principle.

"You Tianliang!"

"Here!" You Tianliang hurriedly stood up, closed his legs, and pressed his hands tightly to the seam of his trousers.

Gao Hongming looked into his eyes and said loudly: "From now on, you will be revoked from the position of battalion commander of the first battalion of the dispatched corps, and demoted to platoon commander. The battalion commander's position will be temporarily replaced by the deputy battalion commander. Are you convinced by this order?"

You Tianliang's heart tightened, but he still said loudly without hesitation: "Report to the delegation, I will resolutely obey the order!"

Gao Hongming looked at him carefully for a while, and then waved his hands. You Tianliang saluted him, and then strode out of the tent.

Now that he has been demoted to platoon leader, he is no longer eligible to participate in this meeting.

All the company and battalion commanders present felt awe-inspiring when they saw that Gao Hongming dismissed You Tianliang as soon as he opened his mouth.

Everyone understands that during this period of time, You Tianliang has blatantly contradicted Chi Yaohui several times
Gao Hongming is killing a chicken for the monkeys to see. As for who is the monkey and who is the chicken, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts.

Gao Hongming looked around the crowd with sharp eyes, "It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders, I don't want what happened a while ago to happen again, otherwise don't blame me, Mr. Gao, for not remembering the past.

Do you understand? "

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison: Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty! ""

"Okay, let's let this matter go!"

Gao Hongming also understands that although it is necessary to deal with this kind of matter, it is necessary to deal with a few early birds, but it cannot be enlarged. After all, everyone is now alone overseas, and the morale of the army cannot be compared with that in China. Combat power will have a great impact.

"Chief of staff late!"

"To!"

Chi Yaohui, who was sitting by the side, stood up reflexively when Gao Hongming called his name.

"sit!"

Gao Hongming waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then asked: "I heard that the 2nd Division of the US Marine Corps just sent an order two days ago, asking us to send the corps to attack Mount Tululu, is that true?"

"Yes, Commander, this order is sent in the name of the commander of the 2nd Marine Division, Major General John." Chi Yaohui replied.

"Since it's an offensive, how much artillery support does the U.S. military have? Air support? Are logistical supplies all arranged?"

"No." Chi Yaohui shook his head bitterly: "The American's telegram was very sloppy, just asking us to launch an attack on Tululu Mountain, and didn't mention any support at all."

Although the officers below had already heard the news, when this topic was mentioned again, they still showed angry expressions on their faces.

"Group seat!"

Wei Qihang, the battalion commander of the second battalion, stood up and said angrily: "The Americans are not even willing to save face. They just want us to die."

"That's right, there is no artillery support, no air support, what is this, a thousand miles to send someone's head?"

Everyone expressed their strong dissatisfaction with each other.

Faced with the excitement of the crowd, Gao Hongming did not express his opinion immediately, but turned his head to look at Chi Yaohui: "Old Chi, what do you think?"

Chi Yaohui said slowly: "Tuan Zuo, before you come, I plan to send one or two battalions to conduct a tentative attack on Mount Tululu tomorrow.

And spread the skirmish line as far as possible to reduce casualties, and at the same time let our two artillery battalions shell Tululu Mountain to test the Japanese's reaction.

The next thing to do is to see the tricks. "

"Why don't you offer support to the Americans?"

Chi Yaohui smiled bitterly: "I mentioned it, but Commander John told me that the US military on other fronts is currently in a tight situation and cannot provide us with support for the time being. Let us overcome it by ourselves."

"you!"

Gao Hongming secretly sighed in his heart, this Chi Yaohui is definitely a good staff officer, but his strength alone is not enough.

The reason is very simple, lack of courage, and lack of the kind of courage that would rather die than surrender.

He wanted to curse, but seeing Chi Yaohui's dark circles under his eyes and his haggard face, he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

He understood Chi Yaohui's feelings, and it was a heavy burden for him to hand over the entire dispatch team of 6000 to [-] people.

Coupled with the lack of courage in his personality, this also makes him feel uncomfortable when he encounters pressure from the Americans.

If this kind of thing were changed to Li Yunlong, he would have turned against the Americans long ago. Whoever wants to go to this kind of crap, I won’t go anyway, so what can you do with me?

Gao Hongming shook his head and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I can't blame you for this. The pressure from the Americans is not something you can bear.

Alright, now that I'm here, let's deal with this matter today.The meeting is adjourned now, Boss, you accompany me to meet that Major General John! "

"understand!"

Chi Yaohui stood at attention, grabbed the hat on the table, followed Gao Hongming and strode out of the tent.

Looking at the not-so-tall figure in the group seat in front of him, for some reason, from this moment on, the haze that had weighed on his heart these days was suddenly swept away, and the whole person felt relaxed, as if no matter how difficult it was, It can be easily solved by Gao Hongming.

"It seems that I am really only suitable to be a staff officer!" Chi Yaohui smiled and shook his head, and quickened his pace to follow.

U.S. Marine Division [-]nd Division Headquarters at Henderson Field

"Sir, Huaxia sent someone from the corps to ask to see you!" A staff officer walked to Major General John Marston, who was drinking coffee and looking at the map, and reported.

"Is that the commander of the dispatched team who graduated from the Sergeant Academy in Berlin, Germany?"

John Marston raised his head. The 42-year-old has thick silver-gray hair and a pair of deep eyes. Coupled with the aquiline nose, the whole person looks very oppressive.
