Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“But we can’t retreat. Once we retreat, it’s impossible to enter again.”
Hearing that the soldiers of the special forces were living a barbaric life, w.a.n.g Zhigang and the chief of staff blamed themselves.
As he spoke, Advisor Li took out a map that was wrapped in a transparent plastic bag from his sock.
“Captain Hong asked me to give this to you.”
It’s the investigation report of our special forces on the 535 defense line.”
” All the hidden forts, fortifications, and firing points are marked on it.” The three of them spread out the map and studied it carefully…
The few of them studied until dawn. Staff Officer Li was so tired that he had fallen asleep on the table.
w.a.n.g Zhigang rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the chief of staff.
“Help him to sleep on my bed.”
“Two men, help Staff Officer Li to the brigade commander’s bed to rest.”
Then, the two of them continued to work hard, carefully studying the tactical map.
At this moment, the sound of a car stopping suddenly came from outside the door.
The chief of staff looked out and thought that Zhang Xiaoyu had returned.
“The political commissar is back.”
The guard walked in and said.
‘ Reporting to the brigade commander, the political commissar has not returned. ”
The two of them immediately felt a little puzzled.
“What happened?”
“Didn’t you tell me the flight number?” The guards were not sure either.
“We waited until all the pa.s.sengers on the last flight had left, but we still didn’t see the political commissar.”
“And the political commissar’s cell phone was turned off.”
“Later, we went to the airport to check. The result of the verification was that Political Commissar Zhang did not check in at all.” The chief of staff looked a little solemn.
“Got it. ”
‘Yes, sir!”
w.a.n.g Zhigang was a little puzzled.
“That’s strange…”
At this moment, a soldier in the command center suddenly received a call. “Yes, this is the 909th Brigade Command. ”
Reporting, brigade commander. It’s a call from the director department. They want you to answer the phone.”
w.a.n.g Zhigang, who was still thinking about Zhang Xiaoyu, quickly got up to answer the phone.
“I am Brigade Commander w.a.n.g.” “Director Fang from the Guidance and Investigation Center?”
“What is it? What did you say?”
“Political Commissar Zhang has already…Has he been captured by the Blue
Army?”
w.a.n.g Zhigang could not believe it himself.
“That’s impossible, right?”
“You must have made a mistake. It’s absolutely impossible!”
w.a.n.g Zhigang thought he was joking.
“Director Fang, Political Commissar Zhang is my political commissar. He’s not even in the exercise unit now.”
“He’s in Chenghai City now. How could he be captured by the Blue Army for no reason?”
“Director Fang, you can’t joke about this.”
Director Fang saw that he did not believe him and continued.
“Brigade Commander w.a.n.g, this can’t be wrong.”
‘ Zhang Xiaoyu was captured by the special forces of the Mountain Leopard Brigade in a star-rated hotel in Chenghai City.”
” Moreover, the two directors of the drill director department were at the scene and saw it with their own eyes.”
“Zhang Xiaoyu is currently staying in the temporary prisoner of war camp in Chenghai City.”
“I am now officially reporting to you the decision of the final battle drill director department.”
“The deputy commander-in-chief of the Red Army, Political Commissar Zhang
Xiaoyu, has been captured! Withdraw from the exercise from now on!” “If you still don’t believe me, you can check the exercise website.”
At this moment, w.a.n.g Zhigang was already overwhelmed by the sudden bad news and shouted in a rage.
“What kind of drill is this?”
“It’s simply a group of hooligans fighting!”
After saying that, she angrily threw the phone on the ground.
He was so angry that he wanted to rush to the Blue Army Base immediately and wipe out the Blue Army!
“No, get me the drill command center!”
“Yes, sir!”
The chief of staff at the side hurriedly dissuaded him.
“Brigadier General, calm down!”
w.a.n.g Zhigang ignored him and picked up the phone.
I’m w.a.n.g Zhigang from the 909th Brigade. I’m looking for Chief Zhou of the base. Commander Zhou, pick up the phone!” Chief Zhou said calmly.
“I am. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
w.a.n.g Zhigang said angrily.
“I object!”
“Brigade Commander w.a.n.g, don’t get angry. Let’s talk things out.”
‘ First of all, the director department has determined that our political commissar Zhang Xiaoyu has been captured and it is wrong to withdraw from the exercise!”
‘ Secondly, if they use such despicable tricks, it will be considered a victory for the Blue Army.”
” Then our Red Army would rather withdraw from the exercise!” Bureau Chief Zhou understood his feelings and tried to persuade him.
“Brigade Commander w.a.n.g…”
Before he could finish, Staff Officer Shen, who was sitting next to him, s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone away.
“w.a.n.g Zhigang, listen carefully!”
“If you withdraw from the exercise now, I will immediately sentence your
909th Brigade to be wiped out! ”
“I’ll also send you to the military court and convict you of desertion. Your outcome will be even worse than Wu Tian’s!”
Staff Officer Shen did not show any mercy and said firmly.
“I give you three minutes to make a decision!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
w.a.n.g Zhigang, who was on the other end of the phone, was dumbfounded by her words.
The chief of staff who was standing at the side also heard their conversation and was extremely shocked.
She took the microphone from w.a.n.g Zhigang’s hand with trembling hands and tried to persuade him again when she saw his stunned expression.
“Brigade Commander, you must calm down at this time. Calm down!”
“We’re about to win! The political commissar is no longer around, so don’t be rash!”
w.a.n.g Zhigang couldn’t even stand steadily. He quickly held onto the table beside him and closed his eyes.
the chief of staff asked. “Who was that on the phone just now?”
w.a.n.g Zhigang sighed.
“It’s Staff Officer Shen.”
Hearing this,
“Ah! This time, we’ve hit the muzzle of a gun!”
“Chief of Staff Shen, he…
He gave me three minutes…” the chief of staff said anxiously. “Brigadier General, we can’t back out!”
“This is a serious political issue!”
“Defeated is a sacrifice, but if you retreat, you’ll really become a deserter!”
“No, I have to report to the chief. We will never quit!” As he spoke, he was about to make a call.
w.a.n.g Zhigang thought for a moment and stopped him.
“Wait!”
“I was too rash!”
“You were right! I was too impulsive!”
“I should be the one to reflect on myself to the chief. I should still be the one to make this call!”
“Answer the phone!”
w.a.n.g Zhigang said righteously after the call was connected.
“Reporting to the chief! I was wrong!”
Staff Officer Shen interrupted.
“I know. If I say anything else, it’ll be nonsense.”
Then, he hung up the phone. Perhaps he was too disappointed with w.a.n.g Zhigang’s performance just now.
“Chief…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Staff Officer Shen hung up the phone.
w.a.n.g Zhigang was a little at a loss, and his mind was in a daze.
He asked the chief of staff beside him with a confused look.
“Just now…Did you hear that?” The chief of staff nodded.
“I heard you.”
“Chief of Staff Shen…What was the last sentence?” “It seems to be…lf you say anything else, it’ll be nonsense.”
w.a.n.g Zhigang frowned in disbelief.
I haven’t even done a single self-reflection or self-criticism. He still doesn’t know if I’ve done a thorough self-reflection.” “Why… Do you think what I’m about to say is nonsense?” the chief of staff explained.
“The chief seems to be…l only asked you to make a decision. I didn’t ask you to do any self-reflection.”
w.a.n.g Zhigang looked at him in confusion.
“But I have to report my next decision and thoughts to him, right?”
“Didn’t you say you were wrong?”
” The Bureau Chief thinks that you’ve already denied your request to withdraw from the exercise. This matter ends here. Don’t mention it again.”
“So you’re not criticizing or pursuing the matter?”
“Maybe! This is my understanding.”
w.a.n.g Zhigang nodded as well. He was starting to admire Staff Officer Shen.
“Delightful! He’s a commander in war!”
Then, he regained his confidence and said seriously.
“If we don’t win this final battle well, then everything we say will be nonsense!”
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the map. He began to plan the strategy for tomorrow’s final battle at the Wolf Fang Mountain.
At this moment, Advisor Li, who was sleeping on w.a.n.g Zhigang’s bed, slowly woke up.
‘ Brigade Commander, I have to rush back. Please give me your instructions! ”
w.a.n.g Zhigang quickly called him over.
“Come, Li, you come and join us!”
Staff Officer Li had just woken up and didn’t know what was going on.
w.a.n.g Zhigang pointed at the map and said.
“In a while, you can directly bring back the combat deployment of this map.”
“Yes, sir!”
