After Huang Baitao became the commander of the army, the military discipline and combat effectiveness of the First Army were restored, but Huang Baitao would never be so arrogant as to think that Chen Shizhang's division alone could defeat the two regiments and a cavalry battalion of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. What's more, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Another main regiment of the army may also arrive from Chizhou at any time. Since Niu Yutang¡¯s 4th regiment withdrew from the battle so quickly, it would not be difficult for the other regiment to withdraw from the battle. A stern look flashed across the lazy man's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Military seat, it is not advisable to wait until later. Changes will happen if things are too late. I thought that we should take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has not arrived yet, and while Xu Shijiu is still around, There was only one chance for the cavalry battalion, so he acted decisively and killed Xu Jiujiu on the spot, then dispersed his cavalry battalion, and then quickly retreated to Jing County. " Huang Baitao was shocked when he heard this. From a military perspective, the lazy man's suggestion was undoubtedly. It is absolutely correct. In any case, the 40th Division still takes the initiative at this time, and the choice of whether to fight or not is still in Huang Baitao's hands. However, if he waits until the two main groups of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arrive, then he You have to give up the initiative. At that time, it will be Xu Jiujiu who has the final say whether to fight or not, and Huang Baitao can only respond passively. However, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the First Army are friendly forces after all. If the two sides really want to go to war, it will not only be a military issue, but also a political dispute. Because he is not a direct descendant of Huangpu, Huang Baitao has to consider it when doing things. What's more, he finally got the opportunity to lead the troops independently, and he didn't want to be disgraced and return to the war zone commander's department or the military committee to become a bullshit senior counselor because of a misjudgment. Seeing that Huang Baitao was still hesitating, the lazy man became a little anxious and said: "The military seat should be interrupted continuously, but it will be disturbed." The expression on Huang Baitao's face was uncertain, and he still couldn't make up his mind for a while. (Dividing line) Li Mu keenly felt the change in the atmosphere at the scene. He leaned into Xu Shijiu's ear and said: "Captain, the atmosphere seems a little wrong. I'm worried that Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang will jump over the wall. Why don't you leave here first?" Xu Shijiu looked at the mill and hesitated for a moment. Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang had been away for so long, so they obviously didn't really want to go to the toilet. The two were obviously discussing how to deal with it, knowing that nothing could be done better. However, it is not ruled out that the two of them may have killed each other in desperation. Huang Baitao may not have expected that the battle in Tongling County would end so quickly, let alone that Niu Yutang's 4th Regiment would withdraw from the battle so quickly, but he should know that the further the Niutuzui situation drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him. In view of this, It is entirely possible for Huang Baitao to choose to strike first. Xu Shijiu doesn¡¯t think that Huang Baitao will abide by the creed that Chinese people do not fight Chinese people. However, Xu Jiujiu is also worried that if he leaves at this time, Huang Baitao will have the illusion that the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has decided to go to war. If this is the case, the situation in Niutouzui may quickly get out of control, and this is Xu What Jiujiu was extremely unwilling to see was that Xu Jiujiu really didn't want to go to war with the First Army. Ye Ruxue felt Xu Jiujiu's hesitation. She also believed that Xu Jiujiu's life would be in danger if he stayed here any longer. She leaned into Xu Jiujiu's ear and said: "Commander, why don't you and Xiao Mu go over and follow The cavalry battalion has gathered. How about I stay here and continue negotiating with Huang Baitao?" Li Mu immediately said: "Captain, I think Director Ye's opinion is advisable." Xu Jiujiu looked at Ye Ruxue and said, "Director Ye. , then you must pay attention to your safety." Ye Ruxue smiled and whispered: "As long as you are alive, Commander, nothing will happen to me, and I believe that you will never leave me alone. Right?" "Of course." Xu Shijiu looked at Ye Ruxue deeply, stood up and walked out. The guards guarding the edge of the drying field tried to stop them, but were knocked away by Li Mu and about twenty veterans of the 5th Brigade. Because they had not received the order to go up to the peak, the guards of the 40th Division did not dare to shoot rashly. So I could only watch Xu Jiujiu walk away under the protection of Li Mu and the 5th Brigade. (Dividing line) Gu Zhutong¡¯s secret message became the last straw that broke the camel¡¯s back in Huang Baitao¡¯s heart. After reading the secret message that Gu Zhutong had just sent directly to the 40th Division Headquarters, Huang Baitao finally made up his mind and immediately asked Chen Shizhang's adjutant to find two guards uniforms for the lazy man and another gunman, and asked them to pretend to be guards and sneak into the negotiation venue. nearby, and then looked for a machine to shoot Xu Shijiu. Although he was determined to take action, Huang Baitao was still cautious. He did not let the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division take action. Instead, he asked the military commander to be the villain. In this way, even if the matter was exposed in the future, Huang Baitao would also have something to say. The responsibility can be put entirely on the head of the military commander. As for the military commander, there are too many fleas to bite him anyway. The lazy man came with the mission of assassinating Xu Jiujiu, so of course he would not refuse. The two sides hit it off immediately, and the lazy man faced another gunman.He immediately changed into guard uniforms, and then followed Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang back to the drying ground. However, what surprised Huang Baitao and Lanren was that Xu Shijiu left. The person sitting at the negotiating table instead of Xu Shijiu was Ye Ruxue, the intelligence director of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui. "Director Ye?" Xu Jiujiu had already introduced him just now, so Huang Baitao already knew Ye Ruxue, so he asked, "Where is your Commander Xu? Have you gone to relieve yourself too?" Ye Ruxue smiled, but there was no one in sight. respond. Chen Shizhang became anxious. He grabbed the guard and battalion commander next to him and scolded him: "What do you eat? I can't even see you." There was no clear order for us to keep Xu Jiujiu under guard. What's more, Xu Jiujiu didn't come alone. He had a guard with him. Even if they really fight, they may not be able to defeat him. To stay. "Trash, a bunch of trash, they can't even look down on one person." Chen Shizhang cursed. Ye Ruxue said: "Master Chen, please don't embarrass Battalion Commander Chen. Our commander is leaving, how can Battalion Commander Chen stop him?" Huang Baitao said solemnly: "Director Ye, Commander Xu is leaving without saying goodbye. I Can we think that Commander Xu has decided that the negotiations have failed and is going to use force, right? " "I'm afraid Huang Junzuo is overthinking," Ye Ruxue smiled brightly and continued, "Our commander is not like that. "Say." The lazy man standing behind Huang Baitao suddenly intervened and asked, "So Commander Xu will come back?" Ye Ruxue did not answer immediately, but stared at the lazy man with narrowed eyes. Asked Huang Baitao: "Sir Huang, this officer didn't seem to be involved in the negotiation just now. Did I remember correctly?" The lazy man's expression froze, and then he realized that he had been careless. It was also a lazy person who was eager to kill Xu Shijiu, so he was so careless. Although the lazy man has never met Ye Ruxue and is not afraid that Ye Ruxue will find out his identity, his current identity is just a major staff officer, but it does seem a bit unruly to interrupt so abruptly. Huang Baitao also realized this, and immediately scolded: "You have no right to speak here, get out of here." The lazy man walked to the side dejectedly, and then Huang Baitao apologized to Ye Ruxue with a smile and said: "Director Ye, this He is the combat staff officer of our 40th Division. He is young and energetic. I hope you will not be as knowledgeable as him. " "Combat staff officer? "Ye Ruxue stared at the lazy man's back, thoughtfully. Huang Baitao wanted to slap himself in the face. The more he concealed it, the more wrong he was. This lazy man was born in the military, so he naturally had a cold aura about him, which was not like him at all. He was a staff officer from a military academy, but Huang Baitao didn't want to explain anymore, otherwise he would get darker and darker. At that moment, Huang Baitao said to Ye Ruxue: "Director Ye, since Commander Xu has left, I don't care about him. For whatever reason, but his departure has finally become a fact, then I have decided that he does not want to continue negotiations, so we have to leave. I also hope that Director Ye will tell Commander Xu that the 30% of the supplies that are due to him can be sent to Jing at any time. Take it from the county. " This is of course Huang Baitao's excuse. If this batch of supplies really has to be transported back to Jing County, let alone 30%, Huang Baitao will never be able to give even one bullet to Xu Shijiu. What's more, even if Huang Baitao is willing to give it, Shangguan Yunxiang Ye Ruxue, of course, would not respond clearly to Gu Zhutong, but said with a smile: "Senior Huang, I advise you to wait until our commander comes back. " Huang Baitao's pupils shrank slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Director Ye, are you threatening me? Ye Ruxue smiled and said, "It's not impossible for Huang Junzuo to understand this way." "
