Andijan, the Central Asian Front Army summary meeting. The only person who could appear at this meeting was at least a lieutenant general. Su Yi, who was carrying a major general, stood out among the crowd.

During the battle of Samarkand, Su Yi's 180th Division took the lead in opening a gap and rushing into the city. When faced with the Soviet army's crazy counterattack, Su Yi personally went to the front line and commanded the troops to resist the Soviet army's crazy counterattack.

The entire division suffered more than half of the battle losses, and no one retreated. A Type B division could achieve this result, and the division commander was indispensable.

Knowing that he had the lowest rank in the military, Su Yi found a seat in the corner and sat quietly. He did not take the initiative to talk to others. He lowered his head and kept writing some battle thoughts in a small book. To be honest, this battle was very difficult, one hundred and eighty.

The division went up as the second echelon. In order to break through the Soviet city defenses, Su Yi concentrated on using all 76 mountain guns and 120 mortars in the division, aiming at a city defense section of about 50 meters and violently bombarding it, resisting the Soviet artillery fire.

The suppressive bombardment lasted for an hour. In just one hour, two-thirds of the division's mountain artillery regiment suffered casualties, and more than half of the 120-heavy mortars were lost. Because it was a night battle, air support could not be obtained. After paying a huge price, Su Yi succeeded with one battalion.

The troops stormed this section at all costs. The Soviet army was unable to withstand this desperate attack, and the 180th Division opened a gap and held it.

It can be said that if you look at the entire National Defense Force, you may still be doing this in wars 20 years ago. Nowadays, those officers who have been formally educated in military schools rarely do this. The reason is very simple, the casualties are too high. Because Su Yi personally visited the front line of the 180th Division

, no one dared to take a step back. After the war, some officers in the front army criticized this. They believed that fighting like this was an inconsiderate approach to the soldiers. Although it could be fought hard, it was not advisable.

It was inevitable that some of these rumors were known to Su Yi. However, he remained unmoved. When an acquaintance officer asked about this matter, he replied: "In the past, when I supported the commander in the Northern Expedition, he once said: Generals will have a will to die, and soldiers will not be greedy for life.

.Another saying: The brave one who meets each other on the lower road wins!"

As a third-term graduate of Wuhu Mainland University, Su Yi was promoted relatively slowly in the National Defense Force. After graduation, he joined the Staff Headquarters of the Northwest Military Region. Later, when the Central Asian Front Army was established, he still served as his staff officer. He never had the opportunity to go to the front line.

He led troops until Liu Mingzhao recognized his talent and appointed him as the new commander of the 180th Division. Only then did he have the opportunity to show his iron-blooded side of leading troops.

It was a rare opportunity for a group of generals to get together and chat. Before the meeting, they naturally started to talk. The whole meeting was full of noise. Some of them laughed loudly when they talked about something happy. Su, who was sitting in the corner,

Yi seems even more different.

This scene continued until a staff officer walked in from the rostrum, stood in front of the microphone and shouted: "Quiet!"

The sound was so loud that it hurt my ears! Some of these proud soldiers who came down from the battlefield stared up at them. It turned out that he was a small staff officer. Many people were gearing up, ready to rush forward to make others look good. But he was not the staff officer.

He shouted again: "The President has arrived!" Now the venue was in complete chaos, with the sound of chairs falling to the ground. The generals who were talking nonsense together did not even have time to return to their seats and stand upright! Because at this time,

Fang Jianxiong has strode onto the rostrum! Behind him are the main generals of the Central Asian Front, as well as Defense Minister Jiang Fangzhen, Chief of General Staff Xu Shuzheng and others.

After taking a look at the messy scene, Fang Jianxiong smiled, walked to the microphone and said calmly: "Everyone, go back to your seats and sit down!" There was another burst of excitement in the scene, and it was completely quiet after just ten seconds.

When we got down, everyone sat upright with their chests held high.

Everyone took their seats on the rostrum. Fang Jianxiong stood alone as the host, raised a manuscript in his hand and asked loudly: "Who is Su Yi? Stand up!" Su Yi immediately stood up, and Fang Jianxiong said: "Sit down.

Get off!"

Fang Jianxiong returned to his seat and sat down. Zhang Zhizhong stepped forward to preside over the summary meeting and summarized the situation in Central Asia in the past six months.

"The purpose of the summary meeting is to summarize combat experience, promote good experience, and find ways to improve the shortcomings. Adhering to the president's wishes, we only need to talk about the shortcomings of this battle! First of all, I am talking about the combat spirit. This battle exposed

It turns out that some of our troops lack the spirit of daring to fight on the battlefield. To save everyone's face, I won't name them one by one. What was the first lesson you learned when you entered the military academy? I think some people have forgotten it.

There will be no war without air support and artillery support. The Soviet troops rushed up with bayonets in hand. Some officers turned around and ran away. Now, all of you, stand up and read to me loudly the words on the title page of your military ID card!"

Wow, everyone in the venue stood up! "National interests are above all else! Military honor is life!" Nearly a hundred generals at the scene read this sentence loudly along with Zhang Zhizhong. Fang Jianxiong and others on the rostrum also stood at attention and read loudly:

"National interests are above all else! Military honor is life!"

Everyone shouted this sentence at the top of their lungs. They shouted it three times in total before Zhang Zhizhong stopped!

"Sit down and continue the meeting!" After a brief calm at the scene, Zhang Zhizhong continued: "Here I would like to commend a division commander, his name is Su Yi! At the critical moment of the battle of Samarkand, he knew that there was no air support and knew that he should

Although the artillery of the department would be suppressed by Soviet artillery fire, he still risked huge sacrifices without hesitation and concentrated all artillery fire to shoot at a distance of 1,000 meters. After paying huge sacrifices, the department broke through the Soviet city defenses and launched a fearless attack.

With the spirit of sacrifice, they withstood the crazy counterattack launched by more than three times the strength of the Soviet army, opening the door to victory for the entire army. I hereby solemnly announce that after the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff reported to the President for approval, a certain subordinate of the 180th Division of the National Defense Forces

The third company was awarded the collective Gold Star Medal and was awarded the honorable title of Samarkand Hero Company! Division Commander Su Yi was resolute and courageous. He went to the front line to fight to the death and fought hand-to-hand with the Soviet army. He was awarded the individual Gold Star Medal. Others in the unit were awarded individual Gold Star Medal honors.

There are thirty-three people in total. What is sad is that these people can no longer stand here to receive the highest honor of the National Defense Force because they died in the battle. Among these people, the lowest ranking is a cook, and the highest ranking is

Head..."

As Zhang Zhizhong spoke slowly, Su Yi stood up silently, holding back tears and standing tall!

At this time, all that flashed in Su Yi's mind was the fierce battle that night. One of the three regiment commanders was killed, one was seriously injured, and another was slightly injured. The Soviet troops poured into the gap like a tide, and the barrel of the general-purpose machine gun fired

There was no time to change when the enemy was red. The Soviet army fell down like wheat, and continued to flood forward. Company commander Zhao Xin fired a mortar shell and threw it as a grenade. After throwing the shell, he rushed in holding an explosive pack.

In the middle of the enemy. At this moment, the momentum of the Soviet army was completely defeated, and the gap was not blocked. It took another ten minutes for the reinforcements to catch up. Only ten minutes left, and Xin Zhao did not have to sacrifice.

At this time, on the rostrum, Zhao Hao was sitting next to Fang Jianxiong with an expressionless face. Fang Jianxiong looked at Zhao Hao's expression with some worry. When Zhang Zhizhong mentioned the company commander Zhao Xin, Zhao Hao smiled on his face.

, uglier than crying. But very proud.

A group of generals in the audience did not dare to raise their heads. Speaking of which, there were too many new troops in Central Asia. During the battle, many troops failed to withstand the fierce counterattack of the Soviet army. Especially Samarkand.

During the offensive, due to the tenacity of the Soviet army, the attack speed of each unit was extremely slow. Let alone entering the city, it was difficult to clear the outer positions.

Zhang Zhizhong’s summary report lasted two hours. The people in the audience sat upright for two hours. Finally, when he finished speaking, Fang Jianxiong stood up and walked to the stage. He looked at the generals in the audience and said: "Many of you,

They all followed me from Wuhu to Anqing, the Eastern and Northern Expeditions, the decisive battle in Shandong, and the anti-Japanese war in Qingdao. But only twenty years have passed since the days of peace, and you have forgotten what is the most important spirit of the National Defense Forces? I must reiterate here that the National Defense Forces

The spirit of the army is iron and blood, dedication and sacrifice. There is a lieutenant general among you who used an army to attack a Soviet division. He fought for three days without being able to advance 500 meters. The Soviet army was stunned.

After arranging guns, the troops retreated. What did such troops come to do? What did such generals come to do? I announced that the designation of the 50th Army was revoked, and Army Commander Li Chengyu revoked some positions. I will not deal with the results of other people here.

Announced one by one. The designation of the 50th Army will never appear in the sequence of the National Defense Forces. I hope this is the last time!"

Holding a box in his hand, Zhao Hao walked into the car with trembling steps. He turned around and said to Fang Jianxiong: "President, there's no need to send it away. I'm fine. Xin Zhao is a good person and has not disgraced our Zhao family." Fang Jianxiong said silently.

He patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, turned around and waved, and the car drove to the airport.

When he returned to his residence, Su Yi, who had been ordered to come, stood at the door. Fang Jianxiong saw his admiring eyes and said: "Su Yi, you are very good. I have read your summary report carefully, and many of the questions you asked are very sharp."

If only the 148th Division could arrive twenty minutes earlier this time, the casualties of the 180th Division would not be so heavy. As a senior in the second phase of the training team, Li Chengyu, a bastard, is worse than a junior student in the war. He is just a Soviet soldier.

The division's blockade was actually able to defeat one of his infantry divisions. What was the name of that division commander?"

"My name is Tang Erhu. He was born in the first batch of Baoding. He later went to Wuhu University to further his studies. He has been in the reserve force since the end of the Northern Expedition." Liu Mingzhao added on the side. Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "Send him to a military court! He will be tried for incompetence in combat.

!”

Su Yi remained silent. After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he said to Su Yi: "I read your summary about the lack of fire suppression between 150 and 250, and it was very insightful. The Shenyang Arsenal has been ordered to develop a rifle grenade, which should be available soon.

Enter actual combat. By the way, Bocheng, the Fifty Army has revoked its designation. It is unfair to those soldiers who fought bravely in the battle. Screen it, clean up the top brass of the entire army, and reorganize an army with the designation of the 110th Army. Su Yi is appointed

Army commander, rank of lieutenant general, the troops will be transferred to the Yalu River defense line in Liaodong. Is this arrangement okay? You won't complain about me transferring your powerful generals, will you?"

Liu Mingzhao said: "The Ming Dynasty is full of fear. Soldiers regard obedience as their bounden duty. Everyone in the Central Asian Front Army must obey the president's orders. I heard that the Japanese army is increasing its troops in the Far East, and our army must be on guard against it!"
