After Huang Baitao became the commander, 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 two regiments and one cavalry battalion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui

What's more, another main regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui may also rush over 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 fierce look flashed in the lazy man's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Military seat, without further ado, it will change later, and I think that I should take advantage of the fact that the main force of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui has not yet arrived, and take advantage of the opportunity that there is only one cavalry battalion by Xu Shijiu's side, and make a decisive move, kill Xu Shijiu on the spot, and then disperse his cavalry battalion, and then quickly withdraw to Jing County." ”

Huang Baitao was shocked when he heard this, from a military point of view, the lazy man's suggestion was undoubtedly extremely correct, in any case, at this time, the 40th Division still occupied the initiative, and the choice of whether to fight or not was still in his hands Huang Baitao, but if he waited until the two main regiments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui arrived, then he had to give up the initiative.

At that time, it will be Xu Shijiu's decision to fight or not, and he, Huang Baitao, can only deal passively.

However, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the First Army are friendly forces after all, and if the two sides really want to go to war, it is not just a military issue, but it will cause political disputes, because he is not from the Huangpu lineage, so Huang Baitao has to think more when doing things, and he finally got the opportunity to lead the troops independently, but he doesn't want to go back to the Theater Commander's Department or the Military Commission as a bullshit senior senator because of a misjudgment.

Seeing that Huang Baitao was still hesitating there, the lazy man was a little anxious, and said: "The military seat, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic."

The expression on Huang Baitao's face was cloudy, and he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Li Mu keenly felt the change in the atmosphere of the scene, and leaned into Xu Shijiu's ear and said: "Captain, the atmosphere looks a little wrong, I'm worried that Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang will jump off the wall in a hurry, why don't you leave here first?" ”

Xu Shijiu looked at the mill and hesitated for a while, Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang had been away for so long, obviously they didn't really want to go to the toilet, the two were obviously discussing how to deal with it, and under the premise of knowing that they couldn't get better, they didn't rule out the possibility of the killer in a hurry.

Huang Baitao may not have imagined 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 situation of Niu Touzui drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him In view of this, it is entirely possible that Huang Baitao chooses to strike first.

Xu 19 didn't think that Huang Baitao would also abide by the creed that Chinese do not fight Chinese.

However, Xu Shijiu was also worried that if he left at this time, it would give Huang Baitao an illusion that the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui was determined to go to war, if this was the case, the situation of Niu Touzui might quickly get out of control, and this was something Xu Shijiu was extremely unwilling to see, Xu Shijiu really didn't want to go to war with the first army.

Ye Ruxue felt Xu Shijiu's hesitation, she also thought that Xu Shijiu's life would be in danger if she stayed here any longer, so she leaned into Xu Shijiu's ear and said, "Commander, why don't you and Xiao Mu go over to join the cavalry battalion first, and I will stay here and continue to negotiate with Huang Baitao, how about it?" ”

Li Mu immediately said: "Captain, I think Director Ye's opinion is advisable. ”

Xu Shijiu looked at Ye Ruxue and said, "Director Ye, then you must pay attention to safety." ”

Ye Ruxue smiled and whispered, "As long as the commander you live, nothing will happen to me, and I believe that you will never leave me alone, right?" ”

"Of course." Xu Shijiu glanced at Ye Ruxue deeply, got up and walked out.

The guards guarding the edge of the drying field tried to stop them, but they were directly knocked away by Li Mu and the 20 or so veterans of the 5th Brigade, because they did not receive the order from Shangfeng, and the guards of the 40th Division did not dare to shoot rashly, so they could only watch Xu 19 go away under the protection of Li Mu and the 5th Brigade.

Gu Zhutong's secret electricity became the straw that crushed the camel in Huang Baitao's heart.

After reading the secret telegram that Gu Zhutong had just sent directly to the headquarters of the 40th Division, Huang Baitao finally made up his mind, and immediately asked Chen Shizhang's adjutant to find two guard uniforms for the lazy man and another gunman, and asked them to pretend to be guards to infiltrate near the negotiation venue, and then find a machine gun to kill Xu Shijiu.

Although he was determined to do it, Huang Baitao still kept an eye on it, he did not let the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division do it, but asked the people of the military commander to be the villain, so that in the future, even if the matter is exposed, Huang Baitao also has something to say, he can completely put the responsibility on the head of the military commander, as for the military commander, anyway, there are too many fleas and do not bite.

The lazy man originally came with the mission of assassinating Xu Shijiu, and of course he would not refuse.

The two sides hit it off, and the lazy man and the other gunman immediately changed into the guard's clothes, and then followed Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang back to the drying field.

However, to the surprise of Huang Baitao and the lazy man, Xu Shijiu actually left.

Instead of Xu Shijiu sitting at the negotiating table, it was Ye Ruxue, director of the intelligence department of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

"Director Ye?" Xu Shijiu had already introduced it just now, so Huang Baitao already knew Ye Ruxue, so he asked, "What about you Commander Xu?" Also relieved? ”

Ye Ruxue smiled, but there was no response from the people.

Chen Shizhang was anxious, grabbed the guard battalion commander next to him and scolded: "What do you eat, you can't look at it."

The guard battalion commander smiled bitterly, but he didn't know what to say, he couldn't say it directly, you didn't give a clear order, let us take care of Xu Shijiu, what's more, Xu Shijiu didn't come alone, he could bring a guard with him, even if he really got started, he might not be able to leave people behind.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, even a person can't look at it." Chen Shizhang scolded.

Ye Ruxue said: "Master Chen, don't embarrass Battalion Commander Chen, our commander wants to leave, how can Battalion Commander Chen stop him?" ”

Huang Baitao said awe-inspiringly: "Director Ye, Commander Xu is leaving without saying goodbye at this time, can I think so, Commander Xu has already decided that the negotiation has failed and is ready to use force, right?" ”

"I'm afraid Huang Junzuo is thinking too much." Ye Ruxue smiled, and then said, "Our commander didn't say that. ”

The lazy man standing behind Huang Baitao suddenly interjected and asked, "So, Commander Xu will come back, right?" ”

Ye Ruxue didn't answer immediately, but stared at the lazy man with a slight squint, and asked Huang Baitao: "Huang Junzuo, this chief doesn't seem to have participated in the negotiation just now, I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

The lazy man's expression froze, and then he realized that he was a little careless.

It was also a lazy person who was in a hurry to kill Xu Nineteen, so he was so careless.

Although the lazy man has not met Ye Ruxue, and he is not afraid that Ye Ruxue will find out his identity, but his current identity is just a major staff officer, but he interjected so abruptly, it is indeed a little unruly.

Huang Baitao also realized this, and immediately scolded: "How can you speak here, get out of the way."

The lazy man walked to the side in a gloomy manner, and Huang Baitao said with a smile to Ye Ruxue: "Director Ye, this is the combat staff officer of our 40th Division, young and vigorous, I hope you don't have the same knowledge as him." ”

"Combat staff officer?" Ye Ruxue stared at the lazy man's back, thoughtful.

Huang Baitao couldn't wait to slap himself, the more he covered it up, the more wrong it became, this lazy man was born in the military, and he naturally had a cold aura on his body, and he didn't look like a staff officer from a military academy at all, but the words had already been spoken, and Huang Baitao didn't want to explain anymore, otherwise it would be even darker and darker.

At that moment, Huang Baitao said to Ye Ruxue: "Director Ye, since Commander Xu has already left, I don't care what reason he has, but his departure has finally become a fact, then my side will decide that he does not want to continue to negotiate, so we have to leave, and I hope that Director Ye will tell Commander Xu that he can go to Jing County to pick up his materials at any time." ”

Of course, this is Huang Baitao's excuse, this batch of materials is really going to be transported back to Jing County, let alone thirty percent, even if it is a bullet, Huang Baitao will never give it to Xu Shijiu, not to mention that even if he Huang Baitao is willing to give it, Shangguan Yunxiang and Gu Zhutong will not agree.

Of course, Ye Ruxue would not respond clearly, but said with a smile: "Huang Junzuo, I advise you to wait for our commander to come back." ”

Huang Baitao's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Director Ye, are you threatening me?" ”

Ye Ruxue said with a smile: "It's not impossible for Huang Junzuo to understand it like this. ”
