Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

General Zhang didn't know whether he was too straightforward or just couldn't think straight. He frowned and looked at Li Dongfang, somewhat puzzled.

Li Dongfang continued with a look of disappointment: "What about the officers and soldiers on the battlefield who can't contact the headquarters and have good fighter planes?"

"Of course I have to judge the opportunity and issue the action order myself..." General Zhang also turned a corner at this time.

His eyes lit up, but after thinking for a while, he frowned slightly and said, "It's easy to do, but if we hold him accountable later, wouldn't that harm the people below?"

Li Dongfang took a deep breath and said, "General Zhang, if you can trust me, I will take this responsibility."

This is about taking responsibility, but in fact it is also a disguised request for power. At least only the front-line commander can take on such responsibility.

Seeing that General Zhang was still hesitating, Li Dongfang continued, "General Zhang, don't worry. I am a technician. At most, I will be dismissed from the military. With the technology I am currently researching, I believe that the higher-ups will not do anything to me. At most, I can go back to continue my technical work. However, this opportunity may not come again in the next few decades or even hundreds of years. Besides, if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it. We also have to consider this."

Later in 2020, Curry provoked again on the border, which made Li Dongfang even more unwilling to miss this opportunity. He had to cut the weeds and root them out to prevent future troubles.

General Zhang listened to Li Dongfang's words without making any comment. He changed the subject and said, "As a frontline fighter, I want to hear your thoughts on the subsequent battles as a combat hero."

That’s right, Li Dongfang was named a combat hero. Because of his demonstration, the battle of the bunker group was won with minimal casualties.

Li Dongfang thought for a moment, then stood in front of the map and pointed at it, saying, "General Zhang, please look, Curry's defenses are mainly deployed in these four places. The overall look is still a long snake formation. I don't know what they were thinking. The defense lines are not connected, and the distance in between is too large. It's like they have divided themselves up and are waiting for us to eat them."

General Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, that's my opinion. Marshal Liu also made the same comment in the telegram, describing this 'snake' as having a steel head, a tin tail, a tight back, and a loose belly. So how do you plan to deal with it?"

Li Dongfang's eyes sparkled, and he nodded involuntarily, "Marshal Liu's evaluation is really insightful! Although the steel heads of these heavy troops look intimidating, no matter how hard they are, can they be harder than artillery shells? I think that concentrating artillery fire and coordinating with two regiments will be enough to easily take them down; as for 'Songfu', I think deploying two to three regiments to bypass Xishankou and attack directly from the south; in addition, 'Xinwei' has two regiments that bypass their rear, which can not only cut off their supply but also form a pincer attack with the frontal troops; in this way, the remaining Jingbei will not be a problem at all."

General Zhang was surprised at first, then he slapped his thigh and said, "Great! That coincides with my idea. You are simply a worm in my stomach! Haha!"

Li Dongfang blinked and thought, what I said is exactly what you think, this is how you arranged the future, I am just reading from the script.

General Zhang thought for a while, and then said to Li Dongfang solemnly: "I completely agree with your idea. I will assign the tasks later, and then I will go to the western front to take charge. The troops here will complete the strategic goals. What do you think of the follow-up actions?"

Li Dongfang was stunned. What can I say? Just fight all the way forward. There won’t be any resistance behind us, okay?

Being stared at by General Zhang, fortunately, the experience of the Soldier King came into play at this time. However, the Soldier King is still a soldier and does not have a long-term strategic vision. Li Dongfang tentatively said: "We will see the situation later. If there is a chance, can we continue to move forward?"

General Zhang was amused by his cautious look. He stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Although your rank is not high, I believe you are a talented general. Do you have confidence in you to be in charge of the follow-up troops?"

Li Dongfang was shocked. There were more than a dozen regiments here. How could he have the ability to deal with them?

As if he saw Li Dongfang's concerns, General Zhang said meaningfully: "You are still a staff officer, and you can directly provide suggestions for action to the leaders of each regiment. If you have any concerns, you can contact me! Unless you can't get in touch..."

After hearing this, Li Dongfang understood what General Zhang meant, and he couldn't help but admire him even more. After all, he was a general, and he thought comprehensively. He was just suggesting an action plan. Those regiment leaders didn't think as much as the top leaders did. When the pie of expanding territory was offered, they rushed forward and shared the responsibility. After all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the result of a unanimous discussion by all commanders and fighters was definitely less serious than one person directly disobeying orders, not to mention when they couldn't contact their superiors.

Thinking of this, Li Dongfang immediately said excitedly: "General, rest assured, I will do my best to contact the headquarters, even if it means crossing 1500 kilometers!"

General Zhang laughed immediately. 1500 kilometers is the distance from Bangdila to New Delhi. This guy is very cunning.

However, in order to prevent future generations from experiencing the current situation again, General Zhang feels that all Chinese soldiers need to work hard for it.

"I will give you four more infantry regiments and one motor vehicle regiment. You must ensure the safety of the logistics supply lines!" General Zhang warned solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Chief. I will ensure that the mission is accomplished!" Li Dongfang stood at attention and saluted, responding solemnly.

Just when General Zhang and Li Dongfang reached a tacit understanding, the international community was in chaos.

Curry and the Eagle Country jointly accused us of launching an aggressive war. Even the Americans, who were confronting the Russians in Cuba, jumped out. Although they were temporarily unable to intervene personally, they immediately provided military assistance and political support to Curry. Even the American leader at the time jumped out to threaten us that if we did not stop the attack, they would consider using nuclear strikes against us.

The United States has also mobilized its international allies to exert diplomatic pressure and condemnation on us. Its purpose is to use this war to undermine our status and influence in the world, and at the same time win over Curry to become its loyal brother.

When the international news reached the country, it immediately caused a huge response. The pro-war faction, mainly in the military, unanimously believed that the imperialist forces led by the United States must be severely slapped in the face with facts and shut up.

Another option is to stop the war by taking back the land illegally occupied by Curry and ending the war through peace talks.

For a while, the two views were in a heated debate in the center.

But on the front line, after assigning the combat tasks on the Eastern Front, General Zhang went directly to the Western Front Headquarters.
