    The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit strange. Although Xue Yue looked angry on the surface, he was very calm in his heart at this time. When Gui Yongqing made his speech, Xue Yue was carefully observing the expressions of everyone present.

    As expected, the expressions on the faces of the generals of the Central Military Department were ugly, and there was also a hint of anger, while the expressions on the faces of the generals of the miscellaneous army were more complicated. Some were gloating, some were surprised, and some  The person's expression was rather complicated, and even Xue Yue couldn't understand what it meant.

    In fact, he held this meeting today not only because he was angry at Li Guoyao's telegram. He was indeed a little angry last night and felt that he had been slapped in the face. But after going to bed at night, he felt that something was wrong.

    Although he had never worked with Li Guoyao, or even met the famous Northeastern Army general, he had heard Chief Chen, Minister He and others talk about Li Guoyao.

    I learned from the big guys that although Li Guoyao is young and as bold as a tiger, he is by no means the kind of person who doesn¡¯t know the depth.

    Throughout his entire rise, although none of them looked unusually dangerous, upon careful analysis, he felt that he should be so. He was bold, careful and courageous. This was the unanimous evaluation of Li Guoyao by the committee members and others on the Military Commission.

    Such a person would never speak ill of one of his telegrams and drag Tang Shengzhi and others in.

    After careful analysis, Xue Yue felt that Li Guoyao's move must have deep meaning. Finally, Xue Yue came up with a bold idea, that is, while he, Xue, was worried about the 61st Army, a miscellaneous army, fleeing without a fight, Li Guoyao was also worried about the central government.  The flying general appeared again in the army.

    Although Xue Yue felt a little disdainful, this battle was of great importance and he had to take precautions.

    After thinking about it again and again, Xue Yue finally decided to disclose Li Guoyao's telegram at the meeting. First, it was to give these arrogant generals of the Central Army a good blow and let them know that they were nothing in the eyes of many generals of the motley army.

    At the same time, Xue Yue also wanted to see the thoughts of these miscellaneous army generals and see if they, like Li Guoyao, were worried that the Central Army would be held back.

    Judging from the current situation, the performance of the Central Army is pretty good, and everyone is filled with indignation. Under such circumstances, even if the war does not go well, these people may not become deserters.

    "The generals of the miscellaneous army are ambiguous. Xue Yue doesn't know what they mean, but it doesn't matter. These arrogant generals of the Central Army dare not make mistakes, and they are even less courageous.

    "Brother Gui, please be patient. I will personally report this matter to the committee, and I will definitely give an explanation to you, Chief Tang and others. But the most important thing right now is to fight this battle well. I hope you won't do it because of  This matter affects the frontline command!" Xue Yue said.

    ¡°Sir, please rest assured, our 27th Army will definitely serve our lives, and then use the heads of Dofeihara to seek justice from that boy who doesn¡¯t know the heights of the world!¡± Gui Yongqing said loudly.

    Xue Yue nodded and said: "Everyone, everyone must know this young man Li Guoyao. This young man went from a small major staff officer to the current lieutenant general in only 7 months, but in these seven months  The troops under his command wiped out more than 50,000 Japanese troops in a short period of time, and this is just a record that can be counted. There are many battles where casualties cannot be counted."

    "In addition, no less than ten Japanese generals were killed or injured. The famous ones include the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Asaka Palace Hatohiko, the commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei, and the commander of the 101st Division, Lieutenant General Yin Dongmasaki.  General, Shanghai Dispatch Army Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake and others, so people look down on your strength and want the commission to do justice to you. First of all, you have to show a solid record."

    "I won't say much else. I don't care what you think about this battle or what your connections are in the military. If anyone dares to slip up on such a critical matter, whether it is the Central Army or other local forces, I will  Mr. Xue will never go around him lightly, did you hear that?"

    "yes!"

    "Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

    Although the meeting is over, the impact has just begun to be felt. Whether it is the Central Army or the local generals, the first thing they do after the meeting is to rush back to their headquarters to hold a military meeting.

    Everyone knows that if this happens, everyone must be careful.

    In the past, when we really encountered large groups of Japanese troops, they might actually evacuate their positions in order to preserve their strength. As long as it didn¡¯t cause extremely serious consequences, most people wouldn¡¯t care about it, and their superiors wouldn¡¯t pursue it.

    But I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work now. Who wouldIf he flees without fighting on the battlefield, once things are brought to a head, no one will be able to protect him.

    Therefore, this matter must be made clear to the soldiers under the command. In this battle, they have no other way out except a fight to the death.

    Of course, this is exactly the result that Xue Yue wants to see, and it is also what Li Guoyao wants to see.

    Although the two did not communicate about this matter, they cooperated pretty well and had a tacit understanding. However, neither Xue Yue nor Li Guoyao had figured out how to end it!

    By the way, at the same time that Xue Yue was stimulating these national army generals in Kaifeng, the battle on the Mengcheng front line also entered a white-hot stage.

    In the morning, the Japanese army conducted a total of three charges. As a result, the defenders were repulsed, and the casualties were not small.

    After lunch, under the order of Susumu Fujita, the Japanese army launched another attack on the forward defenders.

    In order to seize the garrison position in one fell swoop, Fujita Susumu not only ordered the troops on the left and right sides of Mengcheng to launch attacks at the same time, but also invited aviation troops to coordinate operations, and the ground troops even dispatched tank troops.

    Unlike the previous 13th Division and the 9th Division, which were so petty and petty, even if they had only a few dozen tanks, the 3rd Division, as one of the most powerful Class A divisions of the Japanese army, had a lot of weapons and equipment.  It has huge privileges in terms of supplies, with 120 tanks alone.

    And these tanks are not like the Type 94 bean tanks and Type 95 light tanks of the Ninth Division and other units. Although the Third Division also has Type 94 and Type 95 tanks, it also has Type 97 medium tanks.

    Although it is just a different model, the performance is very different. Unlike the Type 94 and Type 95, which are thin and bulky, the Type 97 can be said to be a field tank in the true sense.  Even by the standards of Western countries, it can be regarded as a standard third-generation tank.

    This tank was designed and finalized in 1937 and began to be equipped with troops.  However, the Type 97 is called a medium tank. In fact, the total combat weight is only 15 tons, which is only equivalent to the light tanks of Western countries. However, it is definitely an unmatched giant on the Chinese battlefield.

    Type 97 has a crew of 4 and is equipped with a 57mm short-barreled gun. The armor thickness is generally 25mm.  With such an armor thickness, even the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun equipped by Li Guoyao's troops would have difficulty penetrating their frontal armor. This is one of the trump cards that gave Susumu Fujita the confidence to annihilate Li Guoyao's troops.

    "However, the Type 97 tanks only began to be deployed in the army last year. Even the Third Division only has more than 30 vehicles. Therefore, Fujita Susumu uses them as a treasure and will not be dispatched easily.

    In addition, they had long known that Li Guoyao's unit had a terrible machine gun that had a great restraint effect on tanks and tanks. Therefore, Fujita Susumu did not directly send Type 97 to the battlefield, but continued to use Type 94 and Type 94.  The 95th style takes the lead.

    But even so, such a terrifying formation still surprised the defenders on the front line. Even the brigade commanders and regimental commanders of various headquarters felt tremendous pressure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
