During the Republic of China, those who could become generals in the local army or the Central Army all had certain political skills and public relations capabilities. Vanke was a representative of this type of soldier. It was originally just a duel between two platoon leaders, but he caught him. Seizing the opportunity to raise it to a level between the two armies was equivalent to defeating Fang Hengsheng's army.
As one of the "starring actors", Fang Hengsheng had a purpose in bringing up the lottery. However, because he was only a colonel, being ridiculed by Vanke did not represent the Xuebing Army. Fang Hengsheng was not angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: " If I dare to stand up, I can naturally represent the Xuebing Army, but I don’t know if you can represent the Central Army."
Can Vanke represent the Central Army? Without Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, let alone a major general and brigade commander, even Chen Cheng, who is known as the Chairman of the Small Committee, would probably not dare to say such big words. Vanke knows that it will be passive if it continues to entangle on this topic. He would only be the one who wanted to represent himself, so he continued the previous topic and said: "The Central Military Army is an important weapon of the country. How can I, a small brigade commander, be qualified to represent it? I can only represent the new 116th Brigade."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Hengsheng, who waved his hand and said: "You mean that you can't represent the 206th Division anymore. Then why are you standing up? My lucky number is related to two of your divisions." Then, he glanced at the new 116th Brigade array and deliberately said in a arrogant tone: "Is there no one here who can represent the 206th Division?"
The soldiers of the New 116th Brigade did not understand the profound meaning of their brigade commander's words. They simply felt that such a low profile in the brigade would undermine their own prestige and enhance the ambition of others. They whispered in groups of three and three, and looked at Fang Hengsheng. It was extremely unfriendly. A regimental commander whispered beside Du Dehai: "What are you afraid of? Why can't he represent our 206th Division?" When things developed to this point, Du Dehai was no longer in the mood to think too much. He shouted loudly He shouted at Vanke: "Wanke, you are the major general and brigade commander of our 206th Division. Why can't you represent our 206th Division? Isn't it just a lucky draw? It's no big deal."
Vanke is cautious and is afraid that Xue Bingjun will play tricks on this lottery. But as soon as Du Dehai said this, he couldn't continue to represent the New 116th Brigade. He saw Fang Hengsheng looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He was angry in his heart and said coldly: "Colonel, let's clear a path."
Fang Hengsheng laughed and said, "Why, now I can represent the 206th Division again."
Vanke snorted coldly,
Fang Hengsheng said loudly: "We, the military soldiers, travel south and north, and we will win every day. Hehe, I know that your Central Army is not convinced, so let's see the real deal today. The lottery is good. The winning side will stay in Chongzuo, and the losing side will get out. ,how."
"Okay." The cadets shouted, while the new 116th Brigade booed.
Vanke sneered and said: "Colonel, what a plan. Chongzuo is our station originally. Hey, in this way, you don't actually lose anything whether you win or lose."
Fang Hengsheng said forcefully: "Wrong, Chongzuo used to be your station, but you don't know who it is now. Brigadier Wan, don't forget, Liuqiao Military Camp is in our hands now."
"MD, you're going too far to bully me. This is naked gangster logic. It's really ridiculous. Is there any thief who takes the owner's belongings and makes a bet with the owner?" Vanke was so angry that before he could fight back, a group leader next to Du Dehai roared,
Fang Hengsheng: "Robber logic, hey, Brigadier Wan, I just want to ask, do you want to bet or not?"
"It's not fair, you can't gamble." The officers and soldiers of the New 116th Brigade shouted in unison,
"It needs to be fair, okay, let's change the lottery." Zhang Honglian stood up and said: "Let's make this competition more formal. Three wins out of five rounds. In addition to Ma Big Head and Cannon, let's have four more people from both sides, Ma Big Head and Cannon. How about a cannon duel with fists and kicks, and then four people each competing in grenade throwing, marksmanship, crawling forward, and digging individual soldier pits."
Vanke thought for a moment and said, "We have fewer people than you."
Zhang Honglian: "Don't worry, we will definitely convince you. Let's learn from the 37th Brigade and compare it with your new 116th Brigade. Well, you should have four regiments here, so let's choose people from these four regiments." How about it? Do you dare to compare?"
While Vanke was meditating, his officers and soldiers shouted: "Brigade, compare with them." "Who is afraid of whom?" "Kill them."... Vanke ignored the instigation of his men, looked at Zhang Honglian and asked: "Where's the lottery."
Zhang Honglian looked at him coldly and said: "The losing side will be the prisoner of the other side, not our two brigades, but the two divisions we represent. How about it? Do you dare?"
"Brigade, Bi..." "We are still afraid of them, we are the Central Army."...
Vanke looked at Du Dehai, thought for a moment and said, "This is against the rules."
Zhang Honglian looked at him sideways and said, "You are afraid."
Vanke's face turned red and he shouted: "We are soldiers, not bandits." The subtext is that only bandits would adopt this kind of competition method.
Zhang Honglian sneered: "If you are a man, please be more cheerful. Don't do these roundabout curses. On behalf of all the cadets of the 37th Brigade, I challenge you, the officers and soldiers of the 206th Division, who are present. Say something cheerful. Do you dare to compete?" .”
"What do you dare to do?" "Compare, compare,..." The officers and soldiers of the New 116th Brigade started making noises.
Du Dehai also stood up and said to Zhang Honglian: "Okay, we will compete with you, but let's not win three out of five rounds, just win two out of three rounds. In addition to the cannons and your horse's big head, we will also compete in throwing grenades and marksmanship. "
Zhang Honglian agreed without hesitation and said: "Okay."
Du Dehai stretched out his hand and pointed toward the Liuqiao military camp and said: "Then please ask your army to release all the brothers in our military camp. Our sharpshooters are inside."
While Fang Hengsheng was arguing with Vanke here, Yang Chuntai had already "captured" the military camp with his men. Not only did they control all the guns and ammunition abandoned by Du Dehai, but they also disarmed the nearly two hundred Nationalist soldiers who stayed behind.
Zhang Honglian seemed confident in the comparison test. He waited for the echo, then picked up the walkie-talkie and talked to Yang Chuntai. Ten minutes later, Yang Chuntai personally led people to send the more than 200 military officers and soldiers over, and walked to the designated test venue. He smiled at Du Dehai said: "Don't worry, my brothers and I are just here to watch the excitement and will not break the rules and participate in the competition."
Zhang Honglian and other more than 200 national officers and soldiers merged into the team behind Du Dehai and asked: "Chief of Staff Du, you saw that our division has already acquiesced in our status as representatives. What about you? The commander of your division is not here. You Can it really represent the 206th Division?"
Du Dehai gritted his teeth and said, "Of course."
Zhang Honglian smiled and said: "Then let's discuss the specific details of the competition." After that, he said to Yang Chuntai: "Master, I have to ask you to make a judgment."
Yang Chuntai nodded: "Okay." He turned to Du Dehai and asked: "Chief of Staff Du, do you have any objection?"
Du Dehai gritted his teeth again and said: "Of course, if I still can't trust a division commander in the Xuebing Army, then who else can we trust in the Xuebing Army?"
There was something in his words. Yang Chuntai smiled and pretended he didn't understand.
