Chapter 1388 Confrontation in the territory
Chen Sheng and his company blew up Pingshanzhou River Bridge in front of the territory garrison and retreated back into the fortress with great determination.
Such a sudden scene made Brigadier General Smalette, the commander of the territory garrison who came here to command and contact the Kingdom Guards, unable to help but open his mouth wide. When Zhang Peng walked up to him, the general from the Dark Yuan Empire suppressed his anger: "General Zhang, what does your soldiers mean?"
"Sorry, General Smallet, this infantry company under my command has mutiny. They have been removed from the army by our army. Everything they have done from now on has nothing to do with our government." Zhang Peng shook his head with a bitter face and sighed.
"You have violated the agreement we have formulated during the day, and you should be very clear about what this means? It means that your government will not receive support from all walks of life abroad at the upcoming National Assembly." Brigadier General Smalette's eyes showed a cold light and continued to put pressure on Zhang Peng. "I hope you can persuade them to cross the river, give up their positions, and fulfill the agreement we set today."
"General Smallet, do you think that if these soldiers blow up Pingshanzhou River Bridge, can they still come?" Liu Jing took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
"General Zhang, who is this?" The fifty-year-old old man from the Dark Yuan Empire had gray hair and a stubborn goatee. He arrogantly raised his beard, glanced at Liu Jing who was actively interrupting, and said, "I think the army's lieutenant colonel should know that it is very rude to insert the conversation between the two generals!"
"General Smalette, let me introduce you to you. This is the commander of the Mashoubao defender, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Jing, the acting leader of the 52nd Regiment of the 88th Division." Zhang Peng introduced. "If you want to persuade the soldiers who can't resist the river, I think no one is more qualified than him."
Zhang Peng's introduction is very skillful. Not only did he introduce Liu Jing's official position, but he also a very obscure reminded the arrogant old man in the Dark Yuan Empire in front of him that he wanted your foreign territory not to be bombed, so don't offend this person. Even if he couldn't persuade those people, as long as he shouted at the other side, the situation would definitely be worse.
But Smallet's reaction was beyond Zhang Peng's expectations. His gray-blue eyes obviously retracted the unique arrogance of the Dark Yuan Empire. After staring at the Lieutenant Colonel of the Kingdom Army in front of him for a moment, the arrogant Dark Yuan Empire's old man took the initiative to extend his hand to Liu Jing.
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu, you are the strongest and most talented school-level commander I have ever seen." Smallet held Liu Jing's hand and praised him actively.
It has to be said that the reversal performance of the brigade general of the Dark Yuan Empire directly shocked the eyes of the ground, including Zhang Peng.
He had a whole daytime deal with this man, but he knew that the old man in the Dark Yuan Empire was very stubborn, very knowledgeable about military affairs, and was a very difficult negotiating opponent, and was extremely arrogant. He did not look at him and the commander of Haicheng Guard Lieutenant General Yang, two generals with higher ranks than him. But he actually gave Liu Jing such a high praise.
You know, he did not say that he had seen it in the kingdom, but had seen it, which means that he had participated in a war.
"Yes, I have experienced a cruel war and seen countless battlefields, but I am also sure that in such a defensive battle on local battlefields, there is no commander who can do better than Lieutenant Colonel Liu." Looking around, looking at several school officials on his side and Major General Wang Guofang, the old man from the Uncharted Empire looked angry and explained for the first time.
"General Smallet, I have accepted your praise, but I want to say, you praised the wrong person." Liu Jing shook his head, and unexpectedly rejected the praise from the brigade general of the Dark Yuan Empire.
Not to mention the bad expressions of this attitude, even Smallet himself was so angry that the goatee stubbornly stubbornly again.
Praise is rejected, which is more unacceptable than criticism.
Not only does the Kingdom have the habit of reaching out and not beating people with smiles, but all human beings are actually. Good intentions always hope to meet good intentions.
"You should praise my soldiers. It is their tenacity and fearlessness of sacrifice that have enabled us to repel the enemy's attacks again and again." Liu Jing explained while looking back at the hazy Mashou Castle in the night, his eyes full of gloom: "Originally, we could have persisted for a longer time, but unfortunately..."
Including foreign officers, the audience was silent.
As soldiers, they understood the helplessness of the kingdom commander in front of them. He could have continued to fight on his position.
"You are right. Commander's command is very important, but more importantly, the soldiers can fulfill the commander's orders. In this regard, the soldiers under your command do a good job. They are real soldiers, and I have seen the style of the kingdom soldiers I have never seen before." Smalette's face looked much better and nodded. "If the soldiers under your kingdom commander had one-half or one-third of these, you were well equipped. If you had more cannons and planes, you would definitely win this war."
This sentence made the soldiers of the Kingdom present silent.
In the Battle of Haicheng, there were countless soldiers in the Kingdom who sacrificed their lives like them. However, when it comes to cannons, planes, it was a pain for all soldiers in the Kingdom. They were not without them, but there were too few. The soldiers of the Kingdom were almost always fighting against the planes and cannons of the Black Hawk Empire. Tens of thousands of troops who had already died in battle could have died more valuable.
"But, Lt. Col. Liu, even an excellent commander like you, can't even let your soldiers obey your orders? I hope that you can make them abide by the agreement signed by my army as if they were commanding them to fight and give up meaningless resistance." The old Brigadier General of the Dark Yuan Empire finally returned to his position, "I can assure you in the name of the highest commander of the territory garrison that your life safety will be guaranteed by the territory garrison, and even at the right time, you can return to the battlefield."
"Sorry, General Smallet, Chief of Staff Zhang had said just now that they had automatically given up their military status and no longer obeyed the orders of our command." Liu Jing shook his head slowly, turned to stare at the huge figure of Mashou Castle in the night, and his words were filled with sadness: "The current supreme commander of the soldiers has told us with the action of blowing up the Pingshanzhou River Bridge that the Black Hawk Army wants to occupy it unless they are all killed. They have no way to retreat."
"And, it is wrong that our army did not abide by the agreement. I have complied with the military orders of the theater commander, led most of my soldiers to abandon our territory, abandon more than a hundred robes, and came to your guns, right?" Liu Jing turned around suddenly, with blood in his eyes. Although the voice was not loud, it was like cutting off gold and stones. "If it weren't for observing the military order, there would have been a tomb of more than four hundred robes under me and me."
Facing the almost questionable answer of this nearly questionable lieutenant colonel of the Kingdom Army who was so white as scholar, the foreign officers were speechless, and no one could speak.
Yes, how could they not know the mystery of this withdrawal? It was nothing more than being threatened by the Black Hawk Empire and fearing that the war would burn the territory, so they used diplomatic forces to oppress the kingdoms to surrender and order the withdrawal of troops. From the perspective of the soldiers, they were also deeply ashamed, especially after being pointed out so bluntly by the Lieutenant Colonel of the Kingdom Army.
Soldiers want to stay away from politics, but have to serve dirty and ugly politics, which is also the helplessness of all the soldiers present.
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu, from the perspective of a soldier, I agree with what you said, and I also express deep sympathy and regret, but as the commander of the territory, I also have what I want to protect. I must ensure the safety of the people in the territory, whether they are from Xizhou, Beizhou or even from the Kingdom." Smalay was determined to calm down, "I hope you can understand that the gap between an infantry company and an infantry regiment, if they do this, they may not be able to persevere for a day and will be buried in the position. Even if the Black Hawk Empire people only need to transfer two more heavy artillery, the strong walls and thick walls of Mashou Castle cannot be the existence to protect them. The Black Hawk Empire people may no longer be patient."
"No, General Smallet, you won't understand if your country has not ignited the fire of war." Liu Jing shook his head, "Sometimes, dignity is more important than life."
"And what they want to protect is the dignity of my kingdom, and what they want to give up is themselves."
After leaving this sentence, Liu Jing strides away from the negotiation scene where he is silent again, and returns to the front of nearly 300 soldiers who are standing neatly.
In front of him was a nearly infantry regiment with foreign soldiers eyeing them with live ammunition. No matter where they were, he would be with his soldiers.
"Hey! He is an excellent commander and a real kingdom soldier." Smallet silently for a moment and once again gave Liu Jing a comment. "We should give them the treatment of a real soldier."
"But, General, we promised..."
A foreign colonel was about to say something, but was interrupted by the stubborn old goatee.
"What have we promised? We remain neutral and did not allow these excellent kingdom soldiers to go abroad to participate in the war. If the Black Hawk Empire is not satisfied, then tell the Black Hawk Empire that if you want to fight, then come on. I, Smallet, are not afraid of war, and the ten thousand soldiers here are not afraid of war."
That night, Liu Jing's troops entered a barracks in the territory. Although they failed to leave the territory as they wished, they did not disarm. This was the minimum limit that Zhang Peng, Liu Jing and others could accept.
This time, Liu Lang did not help. Although Xiao Yangniu'er might have the ability to do that, Liu Lang did not do that. Not only was he afraid of debt, but Liu Lang believed that this time, Liu Jing had the confidence to earn the treatment he deserved.
Dignity is not achieved through prayer, but by your own strength.
The four-day Battle of Mashou Castle killed and injured more than 1,000 Black Hawk Imperial Army, which is the toughness of the fortress defenders.
Moreover, this time, more than 100 defenders still defend Mashou Fort, which is also the confidence of the officers and soldiers who were forced to enter the territory. If they were treated unfairly, then at the last moment, more than 100 people in the fortress would have the ability to turn Mashou Fort into a super explosive barrel.
Do you think that the Brigadier General of the Dark Yuan Empire, who has experienced a lot of experience, refused the Black Hawk Empire just because these kingdom soldiers are very military, and just because they are very military, they risked the huge risk of going to war with the Black Hawk Empire? You really think too much.
He appreciates real soldiers, but it does not mean that he can make a joke about the lives of millions of territorial residents with emotion. Chen Sheng and his infantry company also put enough pressure on the experienced territorial garrison commander.
