"Bastard! You haven't reported anything to me after such a long time. What do I need you for? "Drag him out and shoot him!" Wu Peifu became angrier the more he thought about it. In the end, he shouted at the guards outside the door in anger.
Gao Rutong's face turned pale. His mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end. Wu Peifu had directly arranged for him to be a confidential officer in the Battle of Xianning. From this point, it could be seen how much importance Wu Peifu had placed on this matter. Now, such an important matter had actually been made such a big mistake!
He knew that it was useless to say anything now. He even suspected that if he opened his mouth to defend himself," Wu Peifu " might even shoot him in anger. Now, his only hope of survival was those old brothers. Only they could make the marshal let go of his killing intent. Otherwise, no one could save him!
As expected, these old brothers did not disappoint him.
"Marshal Yu, please calm down. General Gao was just muddle-headed for a moment. On account of General Gao's hard work over the years, even if he didn't contribute, please spare General Gao this time!”Sun Jianye, the direct commander of the 2nd division, pleaded with Wu Peifu.
He had always had a good relationship with Gao Rutong. Although it wasn't exactly a case of helping each other, at least they could work together to support each other. They knew very well that in this chaotic world, if they were to fight alone, they would not be able to go far. Perhaps at some unknown time, his broken body would appear in some unknown corner.
Therefore, in terms of their own lives, they would do their best to help if they could. If they could not, then it would depend on the situation at that time.
"If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to vent my anger!" Wu Peifu said angrily. In fact, he knew that Gao Ru Tong couldn't be killed. Even if he had committed a grave mistake, he couldn't be killed just like that. Now that things had already happened, even if he killed him, it would be useless. It would only damage his reputation, which he had accumulated over the years. It was not worth it!
"Yes, Marshal Yu. General Gao has contributed a lot to our direct line of descent over the years. If we kill him like this, perhaps his death is not worth regretting, but it will damage Marshal Yu's reputation!”The other officers, Wang Mengzhou, Li Lebing, and the others pleaded.
Seeing that everyone was pleading for Gao Rutong, Wu Peifu's killing intent gradually disappeared, but his anger did not weaken at all. Although Gao Rutong could not be killed, he could be spared the death penalty. If he did not punish him, he would not be able to lead his army in the future!
"Since all of you are pleading for him, then tell me, what should we do about this matter? Do you want me to let him go directly?"”
"Marshal Yu, why don't you send him to the front line to fight the Revolutionary Army in order to atone for his sins?”
After a long time, seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Jianye could only stand up and reply. He knew that if Gao Ru was sent to the front line, there was a high chance that he would not return. He might even die in a foreign land.
However, if he didn't say so at this time, then no matter how he arranged Gao Rutong, Commander Yu would most likely not agree. If he angered Commander Yu again, then Gao Rutong's life would most likely be difficult to save. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only say this.
The others didn't say anything. As for Gao Rutong, although he had a lot of objections to Sun Jianye's suggestion, he didn't want to go to the battlefield. There was no news from the more than 60,000 people in Xianning. If he went up, the outcome would most likely be unknown. However, despite his strong opinion, he did not dare to make a sound. He could only stand there and wait for the judgment of Marshal Yu!
"If that's the case, then we'll do as Sun Jianye said. Gao Rutong, after the meeting ends, go to the military camp to prepare the armaments. Then, bring the scouts of your 14th Division to Xianning to investigate the situation. If you encounter the Revolutionary Army, don't linger. Report your findings to the General Staff and wait for further arrangements!”Wu Peifu said with a stern expression.
Finally, he added," Remember, if you can't do a good job this time, you don't have to come back. You can kill yourself. I hope you won't disappoint me."
In the end, Wu Peifu patted Gao Rutong's shoulder. He only had a few capable men under him, and now he had lost so many people in Xianning City. He really did not want to kill anyone else. If he killed him again, he would become a " commander without an army." Now, he was sure that something had happened in Xianning City! In fact…
Moreover, he also wanted to use this opportunity to show his attitude to the remaining officers." Look, I'm not trying to kill him. It's just that his mistake is really unforgivable. Now that I've given him a chance, if he still can't grasp it, then don't blame me. He's the one who asked for it."
After ending Gao Rutong's " trial," Wu Peifu turned to the most important thing of the day--to carry out combat arrangements.
Wu Peifu had not received any news about the battle situation in Xianning City, but he could guess and confirm that Xianning City had definitely fallen. Moreover, it was most likely due to some unknown reason that it suddenly went out of control. Otherwise, with the powerful forces he had deployed in Xianning, there would not be such a delay in sending a message.
Therefore, they had to conduct an in-depth discussion on this situation and then set up defenses on the side of Wu Han. They had to expand the existing fortifications. Otherwise, the fortifications that they had set up with the idea of taking the initiative to attack would definitely not be able to stop the Revolutionary Army.
In addition to the defense facilities at the Hesheng Bridge, they also had to start anew. It could be said that it was the last line of defense before the Revolutionary Army arrived at the city. Although its geographical environment was not as dangerous as the Tingsi Bridge, as the last barrier to the city, this place definitely had to be heavily defended. Of course, the premise was that nothing had happened to He Shengqiao!
From the information he had received, the Revolutionary Army had a large number of heavy artillery. This was something that he had to pay attention to. Although he had never used this kind of thing before and did not know how powerful it was, from the previous battle at Tingsi Bridge, its power could not be underestimated. Therefore, he had to build a large number of anti-artillery fortifications before the Revolutionary Army arrived.
Otherwise, if the Revolutionary Army did not hesitate to bombard their positions with ammunition, they would most likely repeat the same mistake as Tingsi Bridge without any defense. Most importantly, even if Tingsi Bridge failed, he still had a way out. He still had Hubei and Hubei, but if he failed in Hubei, he would definitely be at the end of his rope.
Ps: Fu Sheng would like to ask the readers if they prefer fast-paced novels. If they prefer fast-paced novels, then Fu Sheng will consider speeding up the progress. However, in the outline of Fu Sheng, if we speed up the pace, then the Interstellar World War II chapter will probably end in about 100 chapters. Fu Sheng does not want to be perfunctory, so he specially came to ask for everyone's opinions and suggestions.
