Without waiting for Zhou Zuopeng to speak, Lin Guozhong preemptively said:

"Battalion Commander Liu, let's talk about business first, as for Master Zhou's personal affairs, I think it's better to let him solve it himself."

Liu Cheng could naturally hear the meaning of Lin Guozhong's words, and said with a smile:

"Then according to Master Lin's meaning, let's talk about business first; Our request is simple, you retreat eighty miles, leave us a safe distance, and in thirty-six hours we will leave the territory of Rehe. ”

Lin Guozhong laughed when he heard it:

"Battalion Commander Liu has a good calculation, but in this case, how will we explain when we go back?"

"That's what you, Senior Commander Lin, have to think about." Liu Cheng's tone was slightly tough, and he didn't give an inch. "If Senior Commander Lin still wants to delay time and wait for Zhang Haipeng's fire support, I'm afraid he will disappoint you."

Lin Guozhong's face changed suddenly when he heard this:

"What does Camp Commander Liu mean by this?"

Liu Cheng looked at Lin Guozhong's eyes calmly:

"Master Lin, everything has been said to this point, do you still need to make it all clear? I'm telling you that the heavy firepower weapons and ammunition you're waiting for won't be delivered, at least for a short time. ”

Lin Guozhong naturally understood the meaning of Liu Cheng's words, but he still couldn't believe it.

If what Liu Cheng said is true, then Zhang Haipeng will be really unlucky this time.

The Japanese don't think about how much trouble they have, they just want to see the final result.

As a high-ranking official and garrison commander of Rehe, Zhang Haipeng had under his command, in addition to the descendants of three divisions and an independent mixed brigade, there were also 40,000 or 50,000 scattered puppet troops and security forces stationed in various parts of Rehe, totaling 780,000 people.

But in the face of a team of only four or five thousand people, if he could not destroy it, the Japanese would only think that he was incompetent.

For the Japanese, Zhang Haipeng is just a chess piece, not even a human being.

Once the piece loses its value, it will naturally be abandoned.

As soon as Zhang Haipeng falls, these people under him will naturally not have any good results.

Thinking of this, Lin Guozhong's hand couldn't help but quietly turn behind him.

Liu Cheng's eyes had been staring at Lin Guozhong tightly, and after discovering his movements, a strange smile immediately appeared on his face:

"Master Lin, if I were you, I wouldn't do that; You should know how your soldiers died during the morning attack. ”

Lin Guozhong's pupils shrank slightly:

"Battalion Commander Liu, are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no, to be exact, I'm warning you." Liu Cheng's tone gradually became cold. "If you keep going, I guarantee you won't get out of here alive."

Lin Guozhong's breath stagnated, and the hand behind his back slowly put down.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have a rifle with a scope, right?" Lin Guozhong asked tentatively.

Liu Cheng nodded lightly:

"Not bad, and quadruple optical sights; Given the light conditions of our position, your men want to shoot me, and the chances of success are less than 30%; And if someone shoots, the chance of a fatal hit is more than 80%, believe it or not? ”

Hearing Liu Cheng's words, Zhou Zuopeng's face next to him instantly became very ugly:

"The surname Liu, it's a bit unauthentic for you to do this; The main reason why we sincerely came to negotiate with you is because you are an anti-Japanese team and do not want to be wiped out; But you don't seem to be sincere! ”

"Sincerity?" Liu Cheng sneered, looking at Zhou Zuopeng with strange eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, there was at least one regiment or more of a soldier on the opposite side with a gun aimed at my head; And what Division Commander Lin wanted to do just now was to signal them to shoot.

However, I am standing in a very good position, and I just happened to let Master Lin stand in front of me, and more than 95% of those soldiers behind you have no shooting angle.

Otherwise, Commander Lin would have ordered those soldiers to shoot at me just now. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Guozhong again:

"Master Lin, I don't know if I'm right?"

Lin Guozhong sighed softly and nodded slowly:

"You're right, but you're just as prepared, aren't you?"

"That's natural, and the heart of defense is indispensable, let alone facing two division commanders with rich combat experience on the battlefield?" Liu Cheng nodded very frankly and admitted, without hiding it at all.

With the confrontation between the two near a showdown, the negotiations, which had not had time to begin, instantly came to an impasse.

Zhou Zuopeng looked at Lin Guozhong suspiciously and asked:

"Lao Lin, do you really want to take the opportunity to do it?"

Lin Guozhong glanced at Zhou Zuopeng with a calm face:

"Yes, if he insists on refusing to surrender, then he can only continue to fight! Otherwise, how do I go back to my life? ”

"But ......" Zhou Zuopeng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Guozhong:

"Lao Zhou, don't say it anymore, you know, I'm different from you! I won't stop you from what you're going to do, but you'd better not stop me either! ”

Zhou Zuopeng hesitated for a while, and finally didn't say a word, turned around and left with his two guards.

After returning to the temporary command post, Zhou Zuopeng called his four regiment commanders together and said bluntly:

"From now on, I don't want to continue to be traitors to the Japanese, how many of you are willing to continue to follow me?"

"Division Commander, no matter where you go or what you do, my Shao Jun will follow you!" Zhao Jun, the commander of the 44th Regiment, said without a trace of hesitation.

The other three looked at each other, but none of them immediately expressed their position.

Zhou Zuopeng didn't force it, turned his head and calmly said to the soldiers of the guard company who were holding guns and pointing their guns at the other three regiment commanders:

"Don't be them, let them go; However, if there are any of your subordinates who also don't want to continue to be traitors, the three of you are not allowed to stop them! ”

Fang Qi, Guo Erpeng, and Jiang Yisheng nodded again and again, and slowly withdrew from the temporary command post.

Shao Jun looked at the backs of the three people leaving with disdain, and whispered to Zhou Zuopeng:

"Commander, just let them go, will there be a mess?"

Zhou Zuopeng shook his head with a calm face:

"I'm willing to believe that they won't, and if I misjudge, it's because I can't see people; Go and gather your regiment at once, and wait for my orders!" ”

"Yes!" Shao Jun stood upright, turned around and left quickly.

As soon as Shao Jun left, Cao Zheng, the commander of the guard company, walked up to Zhou Zuopeng and asked:

"Commander, this matter is not trivial, you better be careful!"

Zhou Zuopeng nodded:

"Sent someone to follow?"

"I followed, but I gave the order to those people privately, if I found anything unusual, I would shoot them immediately!" A hint of fierceness flashed on Cao Zheng's face.

Zhou Zuopeng sighed, closed his eyes gently, and didn't say anything more......
