Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang coughed and said righteously, "He didn't even consider himself a prisoner. You saw his expression. He was simply insulting us. Is there anything wrong with me teaching him a lesson? I'm glad I didn't kill him on the spot."

"But he is a brigadier general after all. He will definitely meet the top leaders of our army later. Aren't you afraid that he will sue you then?" Lin Shu was still a little worried.

Li Dongfang looked at her seriously and said seriously, "Do you think the leader believes me or him? Protect me or him?"

Lin Shu was speechless when he heard this. Given the temper of the bigwigs in the military, let alone the fact that there was nothing wrong with Li Dongfang's actions, even if he really made a big mistake, given the contributions Li Dongfang had made to the country, the leaders of the military would probably blatantly protect him.

In the following days, the troops received orders to stay where they were and stay on standby. Li Dongfang guessed that the bigwigs above still had illusions about the Curry executives and hoped that they would surrender voluntarily and return to the negotiating table.

However, Li Dongfang does not think so at all. In history, Curry not only did not learn his lessons, but instead launched an anti-China campaign in China and barked wildly in the international arena, showing an attitude of fighting us to the death.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and a report came that the western border defense troops had marched more than 1400 miles in five days in the extreme environment of the snowy plateau, and had surrounded and annihilated Barigas's Curry Army. This caused the entire army to boil, and there was another wave of requests for battle.

Li Dongfang also received a call from General He of the Central Military Department. It was unknown how he knew that Li Dongfang was at the front line, but he ordered him to return to the Southwest Military Region Headquarters immediately.

"Boss, I've finally come here, please at least let me have some experience..."

"You know, kid, all the situations you predicted are incredibly accurate. Now the department unanimously believes that you should be in the command system to play a greater role. You are needed in the charge. You better withdraw honestly."

Li Dongfang immediately became anxious when he heard what Mr. He said. His Soldier King Card was already a big loss, and now it was being transferred back, which would be a huge loss.

Eyeballs rolling wildly, Li Dongfang decided to fool Mr. He once again, so he said: "Mr., I want to say that I can understand Curry better at the front line, and even more accurately predict Curry's next move. Do you believe it?"

"Don't make excuses for me... Wait, are you saying that you can accurately predict Curry's next military move? Don't be kidding me!" Mr. He took a breath.

"Boss, I think Curry will definitely not accept the defeat and wants to concentrate his forces to fight a decisive battle with us. I predict that this time they will gather their forces from Xishankou on the eastern front to Bangdila. I estimate that there may be tens of thousands of troops..."

Li Dongfang was interrupted by Mr. He's surprised voice before he finished speaking, "Tens of thousands of people? Are you sure? What's the basis for that?"

Basis? Can I still tell you that the basis is that I know history?

Li Dongfang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Curry originally had more than 20,000 troops on the eastern front. Now they were defeated by us in one day. Given their nature, they must have thought that we have many more troops than them, so their next assembled force will definitely not be less than 20,000, or even at least 30,000."

Mr. He paused for a moment and said, "That's true, but how can you be sure that they will gather their troops again and won't be scared by us and ask for peace talks? Why are the troops deployed in Xishankou and Bangdila? What do you think of responding?"

"Boss, if you want to test me, find a difficult question. Even from the few words I heard on the front line, I can tell what Curry is trying to do by stirring up anti-Chinese sentiment in China." Li Dongfang rolled his eyes and continued, "As for the location, it's just a mountain range in front of our eastern front. With Curry's military skills, I guess he can only think of defending the high ground."

After taking a sip of water and taking a break, Li Dongfang continued, "The method is simpler. We can just watch how they deploy their troops and adapt accordingly. However, with their brains, I think they will still use the long snake formation. However, this time, the most likely scenario is that they will set up a nondescript deep position according to the direction of the mountain range. It's hard to say for sure, but it should be close."

Listening to Li Dongfang's confident words, Mr. He was still a little skeptical. Now there was no news from the intelligence department that Curry was making any moves to mobilize troops.

"You don't want to stay at the front line and talk nonsense with me here, do you?"

Li Dongfang became anxious when he heard this. It seems that I have been talking for a long time, but you don’t believe it at all. Was all my talk in vain?

"Boss...you...how about this, we have half a month to wait. If Curry gathers his troops and deploys them at Xishankou, then you will let me finish this battle. How about that?"

"Haha, okay, you want to make a bet with me? Fine, I'll bet with you. If it's as you said, not only will I let you finish this battle, I'll also give you a battalion for you to command!"

"It's a deal!" Li Dongfang quickly spoke up and settled the matter.

In the following week, under the pressure of Curry and Prime Minister Lu, General Kaur personally

He led two divisions totaling nine brigades northward, deployed them along the Xishankou and Bangdila lines, and set up a zigzag defense line along the mountains, using the same long snake formation. It was obvious that this guy had very little knowledge and couldn't perform any technical tasks at all.

At this point, Li Dongfang no longer hid his intention and secretly called Mr. He, suggesting that the issue of protecting the Curry people that he had raised earlier could be put on the agenda.

"Our military has discussed the current situation. We can give you some general advice, but when it comes to action, Commander Zhang, who is actually in charge of the battle, still has to make the decision. We can't just wait for the military to give instructions on everything. What if there's a communication interruption or something like that? Besides, there's a saying that when a general is away from home, he has to obey orders from his sovereign. So if you have anything, you should communicate directly with your commander."

Li Dongfang was amazed by what Mr. He said, so he immediately got in a car and ran to the rear military command post.

"General Zhang, Commander Zhang, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The expansion of our territory is just around the corner!" Li Dongfang persuaded General Zhang earnestly.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who doesn't want to expand the territory is not a good general. Although General Zhang was obviously tempted, he still didn't give in.

"All our military actions are in the service of peace negotiations. If we just wipe them out, will that ruin the plan?!"

"My General Zhang, the military has said that if there is a problem with communications, the front line will follow your orders!" Li Dongfang hinted with a burning gaze.
