Chapter 98: Battle of Customs Clearance

After listening to Shen Mengxi's introduction, Xing Ling said disapprovingly: "Old Shen is just cautious. We have defeated not only millions of zombies, but even nearly 10 million zombies like Hacheng. We are still afraid of the one or two million zombies." A group of corpses?"

Li Yuanhong knew that there was a feeling of arrogance in the army now. At that time, Li Yuanhong handed over the attack on the entire Heilongjiang Province to Commander Xiao. Although the entire Heilongjiang Province was finally taken, the losses were a bit heavy, especially in Xingling, which suffered at least Although the strength of a regiment is finally replenished, it still has a great impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the unit.

Hearing Xing Ling speak carelessly today, Li Yuanhong frowned, and then asked Xing Ling: "Brother Xing, how long do you think a soldier's life can last?"

When Xing Ling heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said blankly: "Once!"

"Can those soldiers survive after they die?" Li Yuanhong continued to ask.

Xing Ling understood at this time that Li Yuanhong was blaming him. He also knew that his team had suffered a lot recently, so he said: "Sometimes sacrifices are inevitable!"

Li Yuanhong was completely angry at this time and slapped the table: "What is inevitable? As a commander, a single order may determine the life or death of a soldier. Every time we deal with the enemy, we must not be more careful, even if there is a small oversight, It is possible for soldiers to die for no reason. Since you don’t care about the lives of soldiers so much, you don’t have to participate in this battle, so reflect on it!”

When they saw that Li Yuanhong was really angry, no one expected it, especially Xing Ling. Every time he fought, he was Li Yuanhong's main attack force, so he received the most military honors every time, and his reputation was close to that of Commander Xiao, so recently He was a little confused, and Xing Ling's emotions also infected several other army commanders. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhong would be angry because of such a trivial matter, which surprised everyone present.

"Do you think my punishment is harsh? Today's punishment is clear to me. An officer who doesn't even care about the lives of soldiers and only knows how to rush blindly and who doesn't analyze the enemy will sooner or later put himself and everything he has done. The troops he led were brought to the place of death. I should withdraw such an officer so that he can at least survive and save the lives of his soldiers. Do you think my punishment today is heavy or light?" Li Yuanhong Seeing that the people below were looking at him in confusion, he emphasized it again.

After listening to Li Yuanhong's words, the people below did not dare to raise objections. Even Xing Ling was punished. Others did not have such good military achievements as Xing Ling, and the punishment may be heavier than this. Now, everyone no longer dared to take this battle casually.

The subsequent meeting was more rigorous. Shen Mengxi introduced the situation in Jincheng, and then everyone came up with corresponding countermeasures and worked together. The meeting ended very late.

That night, Li Yuanhong came to Xing Ling's barracks alone again. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xing Ling complaining to several of his men: "This boy Li is really good at killing people. I have fought so many battles for him. Just because of this Even if it's a trivial matter, I won't be allowed to participate in the war, and even if it's a punishment, I should be withdrawn. Listen, this guy is too unkind."

"That's right, that's right, if you hadn't supported him, Commander, he wouldn't be where he is today!" The subordinates complained together while urging him to drink.

"Commander, you don't have to worry about it. If you don't go, we won't go. It just so happens that we also have a good rest. It's been almost a year and we haven't had a good rest. If that's not possible, my brothers will take you out tomorrow to have some fun."

These subordinates were all giving Xing Ling bad ideas. At this time, he walked to the door and saw that these Xing Ling subordinates were giving random ideas. They might make Xing Ling do something stupid, so he couldn't wait any longer and directly Opened the door and walked in.

At this time, Xing Ling was sitting with his back to the door. He didn't see Li Yuanhong come in, and he kept scolding Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong's brows jumped up and down.

The other officers didn't pay much attention to Li Yuanhong at first, thinking he was a cook delivering food. As a result, the officer sitting opposite Xing Ling looked up and saw Li Yuanhong. His face immediately turned pale. He quickly pulled the person next to him and winked at Xing Ling. However, Xing Ling didn't understand and thought he was going to the toilet.

"If you want to go to the toilet, go there quickly. Why are you holding it in? It looks like your facial features have moved out of place because you are holding it in."

The officer came to the meeting and borrowed a donkey from the slope, stood up and hurriedly passed by Li Yuanhong. The other officers also used the toilet as an excuse, and their soles were greased.

Only then did Xing Ling realize that there was no one around, and he was wondering, why did these people lead a team when they went to the toilet? So Xing Ling turned around to see when the gang would come back, and saw Li Yuanhong. He immediately woke up from the wine, stood up quickly, stood at attention and said: "Commander Li, when did you get here!"

"I came late, just when you were scolding me." Li Yuanhong said expressionlessly.

"Commander Li, you must have heard wrong. How could I scold you!" Beads of sweat broke out on Xing Ling's forehead.

"Okay, don't explain. Let's sit down and have a drink together. It seems like we haven't sat down and drank together for a long time." Li Yuanhong said.

"Okay...Okay, Commander Li, please take a seat!" Xing Ling quickly gave up the seat to Li Yuanhong and took the seat himself.

Li Yuanhong poured a glass of wine for Xing Ling, then filled a glass for himself, and then picked up the glass: "Brother Xing, do you still remember the first time we drank?"

"Hahaha, remember, at that time you were still pretending to be a leather goods sales boss. If you had known that you were the person that Mr. Chen was looking for..."

"What, Brother Xing, will you give me to Mr. Chen?" Li Yuanhong looked at Xing Ling playfully.

"Tch! I don't look down on that Young Master Chen. As soon as I saw that person, I felt that he was too insidious and not worth dealing with. If I knew you were the person he wanted to catch, I should have drank more of you in the first place. A few drinks! Hahaha!"

"Hahaha, I just like Brother Xing's cheerful personality. Come on, let's have a drink!" Li Yuanhong touched Xing Ling, then raised his neck and drank a glass of wine happily.

Li Yuanhong saw Xing Ling also drinking wine, and then said: "Brother Xing, do you know why I asked you not to join the battle today?"

"It's because I contradicted you!" Xing Ling said with some frustration.

"Wrong, Brother Xing underestimates me, Li Yuanhong. If I were that kind of person, I probably wouldn't be here today. There are two main reasons why I don't let you participate in the war."

"Oh? Those two points?" Xing Ling was very curious and stopped pouring wine.

"First of all, I have read your battle report. Do you know why your army suffered more casualties than other armies?" Li Yuanhong asked.

"Because we fought fiercely!" Xing Ling said.

"Wrong, it's not that you fought fiercely, it's that you didn't cooperate and had no tactics. For example, in the battle of Wuchang, one company dared to go deep alone without waiting for other troops to follow up. As a result, zombies made dumplings out of them, and the entire company was almost killed by zombies. Eliminated. I heard that you not only refused to punish the company commander, but also rewarded him. This is not to condone other officers to make the same mistake! How many such companies do you think you have in your hands that you can waste!" Li Yuanhong asked.

"Don't I think that company commander is brave in combat?" Xing Ling said a little aggrieved.

"Bravery cannot come at the cost of a soldier's life. One day, all the soldiers in our hands will be killed by such a brave company. Do you think such bravery is still worth having?" Li Yuanhong said.

This time Xing Ling didn't speak.

"The first reason why I asked you to stay is that I hope you can take a good look at yourself and your officers during this period to see if there are any mistakes you should not have made. I will attack your troops. If you look back after the strategies have been sorted out, you will know how many soldiers' lives were wasted on these unnecessary mistakes." Li Yuanhong said.

"Okay, I'll look back and take a closer look!" Xing Ling said in a deep voice.

"Well, I believe that Brother Xing can realize his shame and then be brave. As officers, we have control over the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, so we must be cautious."

"Yeah! I've written it down!" Xing Ling nodded heavily this time.

"Second point, I want you to stay here to take charge. Last time we went to Dalian, we encountered someone causing trouble. Although it calmed down quickly, I feel that the black hands behind it are still causing trouble." Li Yuanhong road.

"Oh? You mean those foreigners still don't give up?"

"Brother Xing, do you still remember the slogans shouted by those who caused trouble last time?"

"I still have some impressions about participating in politics through universal suffrage," Xing Ling recalled.

"You missed the most important point. They require the evolution of special functions, which is to unlock the potential of the human body. Only we have this method, and only that crystal ball can do it. You know the secret of that crystal ball. Ordinary People don’t know, and those survivors who just entered the city, how did they know about it?" Li Yuanhong analyzed.

"You mean we have a traitor here?"

"At this time, it is certain that among the people arrested last time, there are government officials, but these people have no access to these secrets, so the man behind the scenes is still hidden deep, and his ambitions are not too small. So, we have to take precautions.”

"Okay, brother Li, I understand what you mean. This time you asked me to go to the front line. I won't go to the front line. I will stay here. When we fight next time, I will definitely let you see a different army. Also, as long as I am here, I will make sure that this Spring City is safe!"

"Okay, then I'll be here, toasting to Brother Xing!" After saying that, Li Yuanhong left the room again.

After comforting Xing Ling, Li Yuanhong returned home smelling of alcohol. This time, Li Yuanhong did not use the space to cheat. He must treat his brother to drink, and he must drink for real. After returning home, Li Luoxia complained. Although Li Luoxia complained, she still helped Li Yuanhong take off his coat, and made him some hangover tea. After working for an hour, he helped Li Yuanhong to bed. . At this time, Li Yuanhong said vaguely: "Thank you for your hard work, my wife!" After saying that, Li Yuanhong snored like thunder.

Li Luoxia shook her head helplessly, but her heart was still sweet.

The next day, Li Yuanhong led the team towards Jincheng. They encountered some smaller county towns along the way. With little effort, they exterminated the zombies in these places. Five days later, the team arrived at Jincheng. A customs clearance battle is about to begin.

Arriving outside Jincheng City, Li Yuanhong was not in a hurry to attack. Commander Shen had provided a lot of important information, but those were only verbal descriptions and he had not actually seen it, so Li Yuanhong wanted to see it in person.

"Fat man, let's go to the other side of the city and see if there are any gaps in the city." Li Yuanhong said.

"Okay, there is no gap. I, Fatty Lu, will also blast a passage for you." Fatty Lu boasted.

Li Yuanhong didn't go into details, but flew to Jincheng with Fatty Lu.
