The cruelty of war is different from playing chess. There is no regret and no do-over.————“Quotations from Kong Chen”
The battlefield was filled with smoke, and fires had been lit in some places, billowing black smoke. The streets were illuminated by the firelight, and medical soldiers hurried past carrying the seriously wounded.
Boom! A cannonball fell into the street, and debris fell into the pocket. I saw the medical soldier quickly lying on the wounded man, and the falling gravel hit him hard.
"Cough...cough..." The medical soldier choked on the smoke and coughed several times. When the smoke dissipated, the medical soldier quickly got up, lifted the injured and rushed to the field hospital behind.
The brutality of the battle exceeded Li Weidong's imagination. The slightly injured soldiers still persisted in the fighting position, and the gauze on the shoulders of some soldiers was soaked with blood.
Seeing this scene in Li Weidong's eyes made him question his decision for the first time. Because of his temporary change of plan, the battle was tragic and all the living lives were lost. However, the regret only lasted for a moment.
Li Weidong continued to strengthen his belief, which was as solid as a rock.
This is war, not a child's play. There is not much time to regret. And this is just the beginning. The Japanese have already exposed their fangs, and a more cruel war is waiting for them ahead.
The fierce battle line became more stable with the addition of fresh troops. The enemies on the opposite side did not flinch. The light Czechs rained down barrages, sending the cold sting of death into their bodies.
"General! It's dangerous here. It's better to go back to the headquarters!" As the guard chief, Niu Meng is responsible for the general's safety.
"Fart! When did I become less delicate!" The smoke of the battlefield and the sound of gunfire also aroused Li Weidong's boiling blood.
"Ta...ta...ta...!" The machine gun roared and spat out the bullets, which hit the sandbags. Li Weidong's general uniform was already covered with dust and a little bit of red, which was left by the injured soldiers.
His appearance in the position greatly encouraged the hard-working soldiers, and the surge in morale enabled the soldiers to explode into stronger combat effectiveness. At the same time, it also made Li Weidong understand that system soldiers have hidden attributes, such as morale.
The fierce exchange of fire is still going on, and both sides are competing to see who can persist to the end. As Liu Yongqi's confidant, the commander of the 27th Brigade knows that if Liu Yongqi loses power, he will not be easy. They are so domineering that they have offended too many people in Hainan.
There are definitely many people who will add insult to injury.
As long as Liu Yongqi can be rescued, they can use the supporting troops to wipe out these bandits. Even if they fail, they can go to the central government and request to quell the chaos in the name of the government. But the premise is that Liu Yongqi is still there. If he is killed,
Then Liu Yongqi will be leaderless and his subordinates will definitely engage in a series of power struggles.
Therefore, their offensive was particularly strong. In fact, they did not know. Now, they have become a lone army. Except for the Second Division, which is still blocked in Wuzhishan, and still has combat effectiveness, the troops from other places have been destroyed by Li Weidong's soldiers.
Defeated. Besides, the Second Division was not Liu Yongqi’s direct lineage. It had poor equipment and low combat effectiveness.
"Get down!" A shell landed at the front of the position and exploded. The soldiers who were taking cover were covered with a layer of mud that smelled of gunpowder smoke.
Li Weidong climbed up from the ground in the bunker, shook the dirt off his uniform, and asked Niu Meng next to him, "When will the first battalion arrive? How is the situation at Wuzhishan Pass?"
"General! The leading troops of the first battalion have arrived outside the city. The enemy's second division has stopped attacking. It seems that they are waiting and watching." Niu Meng replied immediately.
Li Weidong's reinforcements had arrived, and the battle was about to end. The soldiers of the first battalion, who had been marching for a long time, joined the battle directly, regardless of physical fatigue, and launched a fierce attack behind the 27th Brigade.
Hearing the gunshots behind them, the officers and soldiers of the 27th Brigade thought that they had been surrounded, and their morale suddenly dropped sharply. Attacked from both sides, the 27th Brigade gradually shifted from offense to defense, and then was defeated and out of control.
The fierce gunfire in the city gradually subsided, leaving only the occasional lonely gunfire, proving that there was still sporadic resistance. The people in the city also felt relieved, and the gunshots rang out all night, making them close their doors and windows, fearful
.However, all this has stopped. They may not know that this place has been replaced by a new ruler.
Celebrities from all walks of life in the banquet hall also know that it is time to take sides. Up to now, the soldiers guarding them in the hall still have not responded to retreat, which means that Li Weidong and the others have won. And theirs must also be measured.
How to deal with this newly powerful general who has come to power?
Liu Yongqi and the others who were tied aside had a look of despair on their faces. He knew that he was completely finished. On the other hand, Zhang Hongming's face was rosy, and his worried mood suddenly calmed down. As the saying goes,
, people are in high spirits when happy events happen, and Zhang Hongming discovered that his Zhang family had won a big prize this time.
Tang Ming from Nanjing is thinking about how to win over this young warlord. Liu Yongqi has completely lost power and has little value. As long as the new Hainan military government still obeys the nominal rule of the Nanjing government, the central government will not investigate further.
These days, the local militaries are already acting in a submissive manner towards the central government, and the central government is beyond its reach here and does not have much actual control.
There were many people in the banquet hall, but it seemed extremely quiet. Except for the staff walking back and forth, the telegraph machine was beeping... beeping.... There was a sound of military boots stepping on the marble floor in the corridor, and the door was pushed open.
Li Weidong walked in with a stern expression. The bright red on his smoke-blackened military uniform revealed an iron-blooded aura.
"Everyone! The chaos outside has basically ended, and you can go home safely. However, there are still thieves taking advantage of the fire, so I don't want anything to happen tonight that affects the security and stability of Hainan!" Li Weidong said to these people, his words
There is a hidden threat in it. The general meaning is, don't make small moves secretly, otherwise, he won't mind using force.
Li Weidong is still very afraid of these celebrities at all levels in Hainan. Their influence in all walks of life in Hainan is still very large, ranging from medicines and armaments to people's daily necessities. If they join forces, unless they fight to the death,
Otherwise, it also has the power to resist the military government.
Hearing this, the people who were still ready to make a move immediately poured a basin of water in their hearts, and their hot hearts suddenly became cold. But some other people felt much more at ease. As long as they didn't cause trouble for them, they didn't care who was in power.
.
"That's right! Just wait a moment!" Li Weidong suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped them as they were walking out. This immediately made these people worried that Li Weidong was planning to go back on his word.
"I hope you can come to me tomorrow and talk about how to stabilize the situation in Hainan." Li Weidong knew that kindness and power are the only way to go. Now that the "stick" has been struck, it's time to use some "carrots" to appease these people.
And these old fried dough sticks also understood what Li Weidong meant, and their hearts became active. This was not only an opportunity to curry favor with this new powerful man, but also an opportunity to obtain more benefits.
