Chapter 751: War Begins. Do They Dare?
"Start the war." Xiao Ya said lightly, turned around and left.
Zhao Shoutian was originally a bandit. He stopped and looked at the major, then pointed. "Just wait for me."
The major took a deep breath, looked at the people who had left, and turned to ask a captain beside him, "Did you hear what he said just now?"
"Listen carefully, they... they want to start a war."
hiss……
It wasn't my illusion, they were really going to start a war.
"They wouldn't dare." The major took a breath, turned his head and looked at the people around him and added, "Right, they wouldn't dare."
"Battalion Commander, look." The captain did not answer directly, but pointed to the distance.
The battalion commander's face twitched at the sight. The enemy had moved their tanks to the front line. And their infantry seemed to be spreading out to the left and right as well.
This... this is clearly a sign of war.
"Hurry, tell the commander, we seem to have gotten into trouble with a tough guy." The major trembled with fear.
"It's settled." Fang Shengli and a few others saw Xiao Ya coming back and went up to her and asked.
"Let's not talk about that. Those checkpoints were made temporarily with newly felled wood. If I'm not mistaken, there are probably quite a few more checkpoints in this regiment's defense zone. As you said, if we give them once, there might be a second and third. If we give them every time we pass through a place, then we'll really have nothing after we leave Shanxi."
"Are we really going to start a war?" Fang Shengli asked lacking confidence.
Xiao Ya thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to the military and ask them how to deal with this."
Go to war?
At the headquarters of the 27th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, after receiving a call from the First Battalion, Commander Li slacked off in his armchair and said to the Chief of Staff beside him, "Even if I lend him courage, they wouldn't dare."
The Chief of Staff bowed his head and pondered for a moment. "Captain, let's forget about it. The Second War Zone headquarters has already ordered them to use the route, but we're setting up checkpoints. If Commander Yan finds out about this, what will happen?"
"You don't really think that Commander Yan doesn't know what's going on here, do you?"
He must have known about it, and he acquiesced to it. If he acquiesced to it, why didn't he do it?
The Central Army has always been arrogant and looked down on everyone. I couldn't control them before, but now that I have this opportunity, I will naturally blackmail them.
If I don't do this, I'm afraid Commander Yan will find a reason to deal with me.
"But the battalion commander reported that they have already moved the tanks to the front line and the troops are ready for battle. If..."
"Deployment doesn't mean you dare pull the trigger." Captain Li took out a cigarette and lit it. "Anyone who dares to pull the trigger will destroy the cooperation plan. Who will bear the responsibility? They dare. Therefore, they have only one choice, and that is to entrust the things to us."
This matter is not up to them.
"Bastard thing."
The 74th Army was at the edge of the road. Yu Huohuo read the message from the Independent Regiment, angrily crumpled it into a ball and threw it to the ground. "What is the Second War Zone going to do? The Supreme Command ordered the 74th Army to pass through their defense zone. I didn't expect that they would dare to take advantage of us like this so soon after we arrived."
After cursing, Yu Huohuo turned and pointed at his adjutant, "Send a telegram to the independent regiment. Whoever dares to intercept it will be killed."
"Wait." Seeing Yu Huohuo's anger, the 51st Division's commander, Wang, immediately came up to him. "Commander, you can't do this! If we start fighting, our relationship with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will be severely damaged. We might even face punishment from the High Command."
"What? You mean, you want the independent regiment to give them supplies? You have to know that once we give them here, there will be more levels waiting for us. I am afraid of them."
Now it’s my turn to be extradited.
"We cannot give in on this matter. Once we give in, that means we'll surrender. Then there will be more checkpoints waiting for us in the next hundreds of kilometers we travel. What they want is not only the Independent Regiment, but the entire 74th Army, which will be their target." Commander Feng spoke from the side.
Yu Huohuo nodded. "That's exactly what I mean. It's easy to give it once, but after giving it once, there will be more times. My 74th Army will not be the one to be taken advantage of."
After saying that, he turned to the director of the telecommunications department and said, "Send a telegram to the Second War Zone and tell them about the situation here."
The communications director quickly returned with a message: "Commander, the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters called and said there's absolutely no such thing."
This is absolutely not the case. Could it be that Xiao Ya would tell lies?
Birds of a feather. The Second War Zone was mainly composed of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Of course, his superiors wanted to help those bastards of his own.
But if you scheme against yourself like this, do you really think you have no temper? Do you really think that anyone can step on your head?
"Playing dumb and deaf, wasting the opportunity to fight, does Yan Laoxi really think that Shanxi can't stop the Japanese army without him?" Yu Huohuo cursed and pointed at his adjutant. "Tell Xiao Ya to tell him to tell the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that if they don't withdraw from the checkpoint within half an hour, attack them directly."
"Commander, we can't do that. Commander, if we start, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will..."
"What are you afraid of? I'll take on any responsibility. I want to see if Yan Laoxi is willing to take it all on. He's not afraid of becoming a historical sinner in Shancheng, so why should I worry about being brought to the military court?"
Knowing the commander was furious, Division Commander Wang knew it was useless to confront him directly. He thought for a moment and said, "Commander, we're not worried, but it's the independent regiment that's taking action. Zhou Weiguo might end up being the scapegoat."
This...are you willing to let your beloved be a scapegoat?
Yu Huohuo's anger instantly subsided and he looked around. "So what do you guys say we should do? Should we really give it to them?"
Yu Huohuo wanted to ask the Independent Regiment to give it to him, as he was worried that the boy would be in trouble.
But when he thought about the more troubles that would inevitably follow once he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to make a decision.
"Commander, it's no use reporting this to the Second War Zone Headquarters. They're all in cahoots and there's no way they can give us any results. I think we should report this to the Ninth War Zone Headquarters in Hengyang."
Since the Second War Zone didn't care, they would bypass it and go directly to the Ninth War Zone. After all, the 74th Army was under the Ninth War Zone.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. It would be more appropriate to let them handle this matter.
Moreover, Commander Bai is not really that easy to talk to. If he knew this news, he probably would not let it go.
Yu Huohuo glanced at Commander Wang and said, "What are you waiting for? Tell Commander Bai about the situation here right away."
