Whether he came on his own initiative or was ordered to come, these are naturally two completely different concepts.
However, there was no emotion on Xie Tian's face. He looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Brother Yunlong, it doesn't actually matter whether Deputy Commander Xu asked you to come or if you came on your own initiative. The important thing is that you are here. This shows that you are here." There has been a change in my thinking.”
Li Yunlong looked up at Xie Tian with some emotion: "Commander-in-Chief, I know I was wrong."
As he spoke, Li Yunlong took out a thick roll of manuscript paper from his jacket pocket, opened his hands and handed it to Xie Tian: "Commander-in-Chief, this is the review I wrote. Please read it."
Xie Tian reached out and took the stack of manuscript papers, looked at them for a few times and put them to his hand. He stared at Li Yunlong and said: "Ideological understanding is not spoken with words, nor is it written with a pen. If you want to remember, you have to use your heart. Brother Yunlong , since the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is placed under the command of my 10th Theater Command, I do not treat you as outsiders."
Li Yunlong nodded vigorously: "I know the commander-in-chief is doing it for our own good."
Xie Tian turned to look at Li Changshun, who was watching the excitement, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Shun, tell Brother Yunlong the names of the four soldiers who died."
Li Changshun didn't expect that it would affect Chi Yu. He stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Zhao Kai, Gao Shunli, Wang Mancang, Du Xiaoyuan."
Xie Tian asked with a dark face: "How did they die?"
Li Changshun shouted loudly: "It was because I was not resolute in carrying out the order, and it was I who killed them."
Xie Tian said with a straight face: "Sit down."
Li Changshun sat down straight, and the wine in front of him was no longer fragrant.
Xie Tian looked at Li Yunlong and said: "On the battlefield, a commander has a lot of room for freedom of expression. However, if a commander insists on going his own way with a sense of luck and defies orders from his superiors, not only will you and those around you be killed, It will not only bring our comrades into danger, but also disrupt the deployment of our superiors.”
Li Yunlong's face flushed and he lowered his head. He had done a lot of disobedience on the battlefield, but he was lucky and could save the day most of the time. He even killed Captain Sakata with one shot.
However, no matter whether it was the First Regiment, the New Regiment or the Independent Regiment he led, they all suffered the most casualties among all the troops of the 386 Brigade, and the First Regiment was even wiped out by him.
Xie Tian continued: "You should be familiar with Comrade Li Changshun. He was one of the first soldiers to join the People's Liberation Army and fight the Japanese with me, and he was also my right-hand man. In Taiyuan, without Comrade Li Changshun's assistance through life and death, we would have been It is impossible to successfully eliminate the Army Aviation Brigade of the First Army of the Japs at Caizhuang Airport, and it is also impossible to blow up the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, and other senior Japanese and puppet generals on Peach Blossom Island. In terms of military merit, I would appoint Li Changshun It is not an exaggeration to say that Comrade Li Changshun should be the deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army. However, it was not until today that the theater general headquarters approved the appointment of Comrade Li Changshun as the commander of the independent tank division. In addition to the previous problem of insufficient armor strength, it is also due to the previous implementation of Comrade Li Changshun. Punishment for failure to follow firm orders.”
Xie Tian himself concurrently serves as the commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army. There is a limit to the number of other generals who can be appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the group army. Now only Xu Shiyou has been appointed by Xie Tian as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army. However, Xu Shiyou also serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 51st Army. Commander, indicating that his main focus is still on the 51st Army. The appointment form of the deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army is more formal than practical.
But if Xie Tian appoints Li Changshun as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Army, the meaning will be different. This will definitely be a position of real power. After all, Li Changshun grew up with the People's Liberation Army. The officers and soldiers of the 49th Army and the 50th Army will listen. his.
Of course, Xie Tian was just making an analogy, but it was also an affirmation of Li Changshun's past military achievements. Li Changshun's face glowed red with excitement, and the slap he received just now no longer hurt.
The superiors work hard, the middle people use their wisdom, and the subordinates work hard. Xie Tian still has his own rules for controlling people.
Li Yunlong was already sweating. To be honest, he didn't have a deep understanding of his own problems before he came today. After all, the Eighth Route Army fought in this way before. If the weapons and equipment were not powerful, they could only fight spiritual warfare and use people to follow them. Well-equipped enemies fight hard, but troops who dare not charge or fight will be scolded as doughy and cowardly.
Seeing the soldiers around him fall down one by one, Li Yunlong would feel distressed and shed tears, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.
In war, there will be sacrifices and bloodshed, and you will be afraid of death and become a shitty soldier.
However, after the 386th Brigade was assigned to the 41st Group Army of the Tenth Theater, the combat method was completely different. From the general to the soldiers, they were not able to fully adapt to Xie Tian's combat philosophy.
For example, in the Battle of Niangziguan this time, Zhao Gang led the 301st Division to besiege Niangziguan for nearly twenty days. From the beginning to the end, he never launched a decent attack, and the 302nd and 303rd Divisions who assisted in the attack became idle fish. The original tactical arrangement was to surround the point and call for reinforcements, but it turned out that the point was surrounded and no reinforcements came. Ding Wei and Kong Jie even got together to play chess, chat and brag every day.
When had the Eighth Route Army fought such a sticky battle? Even the soldiers complained that the battle was not pleasant.
But what's the result?
Successfully recaptured Niangzi Pass and wiped out a Japanese regiment, but our own casualties were...zero! ! !
Not to mention Li Yunlong, even Xu Shiyou had not expected this result.
The Eighth Route Army has never fought such a beautiful battle.
Impressed.
I was convinced from top to bottom.
To be honest, when Li Yunlong came to see Xie Tian today, he was kicked by Xu Shiyou.
The order from the Commander-in-Chief of the 10th Theater Command has been issued to Xu Shiyou of the 41st Group Army, removing Comrade Zhao Gang from the position of acting division commander and deputy commander of the 301st Division of the 51st Army of the 41st Army, and appointing Comrade Zhao Gang as the Chief of General Staff of the 10th Theater Command. .
Chief of General Staff of the Tenth War Zone General Staff Headquarters, how many levels did Zhao Gang get promoted directly? If he were awarded according to his job title, he would have to be at least a third-level general, which is one level higher than the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
But that's not the key. Zhao Gang has that ability, and promotion is only a matter of time. It's just that he was promoted too quickly with Xie Tian (Xie Baoqing).
The key is that after Zhao Gang was transferred, the position of commander of the 301st Division became vacant again.
Xie Tian will not arrange for other cadres of his army to serve in the 51st Army, at least not yet.
But if Li Yunlong didn't have a long memory, he wouldn't let Li Yunlong be the division commander again.
As for Li Yunlong's statement that he could return to the fighting force and become a soldier, that was all nonsense. Even Li Yunlong himself didn't believe it.
Whether Li Yunlong can be reinstated and become the division commander depends on whether he truly realizes his mistakes and corrects his attitude.
Disobedient on the battlefield, easily impulsive, fond of playing tricks, and arrogant about taking credit, Li Yunlong has too many problems.
