This time, there were more than 3,000 soldiers casualties, and many of them were veterans. The damage to the soldiers was great. While Li Yuanhong ordered the soldiers who were slightly wounded to be treated on the spot, he also ordered the soldiers who were seriously wounded or possibly disabled. All are sent back to Spring City so that they can be better treated there.
At the same time, Li Yuanhong also ordered the soldiers to clean up the damaged buildings. This time, due to the urban street fighting, although the scope was small, many buildings were still destroyed by gunfire. The ruins of the buildings were standing in the city, making the city extremely depressed. Baicheng is an important food production area in Jilin Province. It will be a good backup base in the future. Therefore, such buildings must be cleared out as soon as possible. In case there are zombies hidden in them, once the survivors move in, it will be a big trouble.
Moreover, this battle also revealed many shortcomings, including some non-commissioned officers who are not strong in command and fear war. The existence of such officers will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and many grass-roots commanders also need to strengthen their learning. Li Yuanhong had to deal with things, so although the battle was over, Li Yuanhong felt that he was running out of time.
However, while Li Yuanhong was busy, something went wrong in the rear.
Li Yuanhong was working on the documents that day, suddenly a soldier rushed in: "Report to the captain, and Minister Liu Hu will send you a secret letter."
Li Yuanhong was taken aback for a moment, what made Liu Hu so anxious and sent someone secretly to deliver the letter.
So Li Yuanhong took the letter. The letter was sealed with kraft paper, with sealing wax on it, and Liu Hu’s letter stamp on the sealing wax. It looks like the whole letter is similar to an ancient letter, and on the outside, the letter is tightly closed and there is no trace of being opened. , So Li Yuanhong tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter inside to check:"
One thousand one hundred and twenty-three wounded soldiers have arrived today. I have arranged for them to be properly arranged. Please don't worry about the captain. Good treatment will be given here. The personnel and materials are also fully equipped, and when the vehicles are ready, they will be sent to the front line without delaying the battle on the front line. We hope to win more battles on the front line. If there is any demand, we will try our best to handle it. Any messy stuff, please try to hand it over to us, and everything is in order.
Certain year, certain day
Liu Hu's autograph"
Such a letter is obviously a letter for safety and a brief report, and there is no urgent matter, but why it is sent so secretly, and why it is so solemnly, is not in Liu Hu's style at all. So Li Yuanhong said: "Go and call me the messenger."
After a while, the messenger came in. This is a young man. He is not very old. He is in his early twenties. He feels very honest and honest. So Li Yuanhong asked, "What happened in Spring City recently?"
"It's nothing big, it's just that the wall is finished." The young man answered truthfully.
"Then there is nothing else?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"No, if there is, it means that Spring City was so crowded before you."
"Then Minister Liu Hu has anything to tell you?"
"Minister Liu Hu just told me, let me give my heart to you personally, no delay on the road, and nothing else."
"Oh? Did anyone intercept you on the way? Has anyone else touched this letter?"
"No, apart from the soldiers checking when they left the city, no one else intercepted them."
"Soldiers go out of the city for inspection? When did the soldiers take charge of going out of the city for inspection, shouldn't this be the responsibility of the city police force?"
"I don't know this anymore. The soldiers took over the city defense not long ago anyway."
"Oh, you go down!" Li Yuanhong didn't say anything, letting the messenger go down.
After Li Yuanhong waited for the young man to go down, he began to read this letter again. This letter should have been from Liu Hu. Liu Hu must not say to his face if he wants to convey the message, he must be afraid that he would be taken away from the city for inspection I can only say vaguely, Li Yuanhong read the letter several times again, and inadvertently, he was very awkward at the beginning of a few sentences, so he connected the first few words: Someone is looking forward to (rebellion). Seeing this, Li Yuanhong understood that someone behind him was going to shoot his own black gun!
Li Yuanhong stood up as if hurrying back, but immediately stopped. He now hastily returned. I am afraid that not only can he not solve the problem, but it may also cause the other party to act in advance, so that the survivor base that he has finally established may be affected by himself. People’s artillery fire was destroyed, so you must be steady, because when Li Yuanhong looked through the letter again, he found a small water stain on the foot of the letter, which shows that the letter paper has been stained with water, but Liu Hu will never be stingy when writing a letter. Use water-stained letter paper to write a letter, then the letter must have been glued with water later. Li Yuanhong picked up the envelope again, and sure enough, at the bottom of the envelope, he found traces of undetectable blisters. Li Yuanhong understands that this letter has been opened, so the person who opened the letter is probably the soldiers of the defenders, that is to say, there are people from the military who participated in the rebellion.
Li Yuanhong decided to find an excuse to return to his teacher, so that he would use the force in his hand to restrain the opponent first, and then he was trying to solve the matter. Thinking of this, Li Yuanhong instructed at the door: "Go, and call Master Xiao to have a meeting with the heads of the regiments."
"Yes!" The guards at the door promised to go out, and soon, Commander Xiao and the heads of the regiments arrived.
"Everyone has been working hard recently. Originally, I wanted to finish the matter here, and I was taking everyone to Mongolia to deal with the matter over there, but today I received a letter from Minister Liu Hu, saying that the materials are still being prepared, and Minister Liu I reported the number of wounded and sick. That is more than 1,000 soldiers! During this period of time, everyone has been fighting continuously and it was very hard. Moreover, we have now reduced the number of personnel to more than 3,000 and need to be refilled. Therefore, I decided to tomorrow Lead everyone to rehabilitate the City of Rejuvenation, and the other group will also summarize the problems that have occurred in the recent combat. Do you think this arrangement is good?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"I'm fine!" Teacher Xiao said.
"It's okay to take a break, I'm almost suffocating me if I'm not allowed to drink recently!" Xing Ling had an alcoholic expression.
"Well, just go back to see the chief." Head Luo also stated his attitude.
"Okay, then everyone will go back and prepare, and leave tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, the team started to set off. Since the zombies all the way were cleaned up, the return journey was much smoother. In less than half a day, they arrived outside of Spring City smoothly. Looking at the tall walls of Spring City from a distance, it looked particularly majestic, and There is also an arrow tower on the city wall. Although there are no defense weapons up there yet, it still feels solid. The scorching sun is shining diagonally, dyeing the city walls golden, and a feeling of mighty and solemn comes to life.
Li Yuanhong led the convoy and quickly came to the city gate. At this time, a group of soldiers was guarding the city gate. Seeing a group coming, they stepped forward and stood upright: "The guards and soldiers welcome the triumphal return of Commander Xiao!"
Li Yuanhong heard the words of the soldiers outside and knew his whereabouts. Someone had leaked it. Or he had just issued the news about the return trip yesterday. How come these guards knew about it, and even came to slap Master Xiao's flattery.
Master Xiao heard the voices of soldiers outside, showed his head, and returned a military salute to those soldiers: "Which subordinates are you?"
"Report to the commander, we are the subordinates of Commander Xiao." Soldierhui reported.
"Xiao Xiao is good, so are you guys!" Teacher Xiao said cheerfully, and then sat back in the car again.
The convoy continued to move forward and went straight into the city.
Back in the city, Spring City has changed a lot from the time when Li Yuanhong left. There are more people on the street, but Li Yuanhong finds that there are many begging people on the street, which makes Li Yuanhong frown. The convoy drove all the way to the barracks. Li Yuanhong got off the armored vehicle and said to Master Xiao: "I will go back and change my clothes. This stinky sweat is about to smoke myself to death. When we look back, we will rush all the officers together tomorrow. To summarize the military, we will give the soldiers a half-day holiday today, but we must pay attention to military discipline and do not violate military discipline!"
"Don't worry, whoever dares to violate military discipline, I won't let him be the first one, but can I drink tonight?" Master Xiao asked quietly.
"You can drink, but you can't drink too much. I don't want to have a bunch of drunks going crazy with me at the meeting tomorrow!" Li Yuanhong joked.
"Don't worry, I know the amount of alcohol these rascals have, and I will never let them drink too much." Teacher Xiao also said with a smile.
Seeing Master Xiao's assurance, Li Yuanhong turned around and walked straight to his residence. As Li Yuanhong walked, he suddenly bent down. It turned out that the shoelace had been opened, and the shoelace was fastened. Li Yuanhong moved forward again. Returning to his residence, Li Yuanhong opened the door, glanced quickly into the room, and then said to himself: "It's been a long time since I came back, this room is so dirty!" He exited the room and took out his mobile phone. , He dialed a phone call: "Hey, Er Ya, send me a cleaner, yes, the cleaner will clean, I have been out for a long time, and you don’t help me take care of the house. Now it’s impossible to go to the house if it’s dirty. Looks like it!" After Li Yuanhong complained, he turned around and walked out of the building he was in and walked towards a hotel.
This hotel is specially prepared for those who do business from other places. It used to be a business hotel, so it can be used after a little cleaning. Moreover, this hotel is government-run, that is to say, the money made goes to Li Yuanhong.
Walking into the hotel, the flow of people inside is not bad. After all, there are many survivors who come to Spring City to do business, and they are all in the nearby survivor camp. These people hardly know Li Yuanhong, and Li Yuanhong who saw the dust and dust did not care, only a few He looked at Li Yuanhong a few more times, then lowered his head and started to do his own thing.
Li Yuanhong came to the counter: "Give me a standard room."
"Sorry, the standard room is full now!" The waiter replied politely.
"Then what room is vacant?"
"Now only the presidential suite and the couple suite are vacant." The waiter replied.
"Then give me a couple's suite! As long as it is cheap, don't give me too expensive!" Li Yuanhong said stingly.
"Okay, sir, the husband and wife suite needs ten crystal nuclei a day, are you sure you want to live?"
"So expensive, what about the presidential suite?"
"The presidential set requires twenty crystal nuclei."
Li Yuanhong said with a black line on his face: "Let's give me a couple!"
"Okay sir, please pay first. This is your key." The waiter politely handed the key to Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong paid the money in a painful way, then hurried upstairs, found his room, and entered To go.
