Chapter 12 The Simon Exercise
As soon as the private banquet ended, Zheng Runcheng took the guards and rode out of the city and returned to the military camp. The guards were still strange. Usually, the commander-in-chief would not return to the camp until dark. What's wrong today?
Without mentioning what the guards were thinking, just Zheng Runcheng rode all the way and entered the military camp without much time. As soon as he returned to his own command center, he immediately issued an order: The main commanders of the Volunteer Army departments went to the General Command to hold important military meetings! If a coup is about to change, can it be possible to not unify the thinking?
This is a major event that concerns the life and death of the Volunteer Army! Since he signed the coup declaration, the coup can only succeed but not fail! Once it fails, not only Zheng Runcheng, but also the entire Volunteer Army will have to be unlucky! The matter has already happened, then just do your best to do it well!
Hu Fei brought his chief of staff Liu Dong to attend this meeting. Liu Dong has been the chief of staff for a while, and Hu Fei has also brought him to the military meeting of the senior volunteer army before. Today, Liu Dong is not on duty, which just happened to give Hu Fei the opportunity to catch the powerful men. Taking the chief of staff to attend the meeting, it also seems that he, the captain, is very talented!
Hu Fei is a celebrity in the Volunteer Army! He had basically eaten all the officers who participated in the meeting, and everyone had received the affection of Hu Fei. Those who did not drink wolf meat soup had long been starved to death! Hu Fei was not an exaggeration to say that it was a life-saving grace. As soon as the two of them came in, they were greetings around. Hu Fei was also popular, and everyone was willing to talk to this young handsome guy to make friends.
Chief of Staff Liu Dong followed Hu Fei for a long time, and most of the officers present also knew each other. While greeting Hu Fei, someone greeted Liu Dong. The atmosphere at the scene was lively and warm.
At this moment, a messenger shouted: Commander-in-chief is here! The field is quiet, and the generals stand up and stand to welcome the commander-in-chief.
Zheng Runcheng walked into the conference hall with a calm face, looked around the generals in the hall and signaled everyone to sit down. Those who came were all those who had experienced life and death from the Northeast, and they were all his life and death brothers. Zheng Runcheng had nothing to hide, and he told the generals present directly what happened in Dihua City today.
When they heard this, the generals were immediately excited! The people who came were used to fighting wars, like adventure, like excitement, and keen on violence. After so many days of fighting, these people were already bored! After marching hard all the way from the Soviet Union, the loss of physical strength was already made up. Although the coup was not considered a war, it was quite exciting! These boring guys shouted excitedly when they heard something to do!
Well, there is no need to worry about motivating morale. Seeing the attitude of his generals, Zheng Runcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the generals would get tired of war after being comfortable for a few days. If that were the case, he would have to consider how to spend time and stimulate the belligerent factors in these people's blood vessels. Now it seems that this one can be saved!
Morale is fine, so it's time to assign tasks next. Although the negotiation was that the Naturalized Army, as the main force of the coup, the Volunteers were responsible for the deterrence of the periphery, they still had to prepare for it! This was equivalent to getting on a pirate ship, and you had to work hard!
Zheng Runcheng named one by one, assigned tasks to anyone who clicked, and clicked on Hu Fei's head. Seeing Hu Fei's indifferent face Zheng Runcheng felt a headache!
"Captain Hu, just lead the Rangers to stay in your barracks and just don't go anywhere." After thinking about it, Zheng Runcheng still felt that Rangers were safer in the barracks. The coup was a big deal! Commander Zheng didn't want a slight accident!
"Hey, Commander Zheng, why do others have tasks assigned to me? I just stayed in the barracks to sleep?" Hu Fei was reluctant to do it with his neck.
He either sticks to the city gate or goes to the city to be responsible for public security. Liu Kuaile's order is to monitor the security headquarters! Although the tasks are all surveillance, he went out to perform the tasks. He is okay. When he goes back to stay in his barracks, wouldn't he sleep? How can he explain this when he goes back to meet his brothers?
"Ahem," Zheng Runcheng knew that this person's head was hard to shave. Now that Hu Fei criticized him in public, all the generals in the camp were looking at him, as if Commander Zheng was really making things difficult for Hu Fei! Zheng Runcheng coughed twice, trying to keep his voice steady, "Captain Hu, sticking to the barracks does not mean sleeping. Once a coup occurs, the enemy may counterattack at any time. The Rangers' sticking to the barracks is also to stabilize the rear of our troops!"
"The commander-in-chief should not fool me in such things." Hu Fei curled his lips and looked dissatisfied, as if Zheng Runcheng was really fooling him often. Zheng Runcheng was so angry that his face turned red and white.
"All the officers and soldiers of the Rangers are willing to fight for the honor of the Volunteer Army! Please change to a more important task for me!"
Zheng Runcheng was speechless about Hu Fei's behavior, but he really couldn't do anything to him when facing such a character! In order to prevent Hu Fei from continuing to mess around, which led to his inability to continue this military meeting, Zheng Runcheng had to give in and promised to let the Rangers monitor the Xicheng Gate.
All the generals were assigned tasks, and the role of the Volunteers in this coup and the precautions for each unit in carrying out their tasks. Finally, Zheng Runcheng explained to everyone what the Volunteers should do during this period from now until the coup date on April 12th. In short, it is absolutely impossible to expose the purpose of the coup in advance!
After the meeting, the generals returned to their respective troops. From that day on, the rebels began to prepare for the coup. Hu Fei's ranger frequently practiced in the military camp, and sent a member of the group to patrol dozens of people every day. Understand the terrain and check the situation near the Xichengmen.
Time flies, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye. This day was April 12, 22nd year of the Republic of China. Before dawn in the morning, Hu Fei took the Rangers out of the military camp. Originally, Hu Fei thought he would come last night, but Liu Dong told him to come in the morning. Rangers were just monitoring Ximen, not the main attacker of the coup, nor were he ordered to block the Ximen. It was useless to come early and it was easy to expose the coup goal.
Liu Dong told him not to worry, it would not be too late to arrive at the Xicheng Gate at 9 o'clock in the morning. But after Hu Fei left the camp gate, he still couldn't control his horse and ran! Since he had received the task, even if he was going out for a walk, he had to walk happily!
More than a hundred cavalry rushed outside the Xicheng Gate like a gust of wind and stopped. Looking at the watch, it was only less than seven o'clock and it was just dawn.
The soldiers guarding the city gate saw a group of people coming from outside and immediately reported to the officer on duty. The officer rubbed his eyes and his hands and raised the balustrade and asked: Where did you come from? What do you want to do when you run outside the city in the morning?
Of course, Hu Fei couldn't say that he was here to attack Dihua City. He told the officers on the city that he was from the Volunteer Army and that he had come out for exercise this morning! He went outside the city gate early in the morning to walk the horses and exercise. If there was any disturbance, please don't blame him.
Chapter completed!
