Chapter 635: Civil Strife

First, I ask for a subscription

In the face of the attack of the 99th Army, the Russian army launched a ferocious counterattack - 1 - In order to guard against the attack of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the Russian army continued to strengthen the walls of the Twin Cities during this time. Although it could not resist the bombardment of heavy artillery, it was still very stressful for the 99th Army, which lacked heavy weapons.

The number of Russian troops in Twin Cities is about 25,000 and occupies a favorable position, while the 99th Army that came to Twin Cities is only about 20,000 in number, dealing with disadvantages in numbers, and there is no slightest advantage in weapons and equipment. Although the morale of the 99th Army has been greatly boosted, the difference in strength between the two sides has not changed in the slightest because of the change in the morale of the 99th Army.

In several attacks, the 99th Army did not seize the slightest front-line position, except for the loss of troops.

"Chief of Staff, the enemy's defenses are very strong, our men can't get in, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties." Wen Dashan, the commander of the regiment in charge of the attack, said.

"The enemy is not iron-clad, how can it be impossible to penetrate, let your men increase the offensive, and seize the high ground of the front line for me at all costs." Liu Xiang's face can be called cold. How could he not see that the attack of the Ninety-ninth Army was weak. But he also knew that the current 99th Army must not give in, otherwise the morale that had been so hard to improve would be low again, and they must maintain sufficient pressure on the Twin Cities before the main force of the Wehrmacht arrived.

"However, the enemy has built dozens of firepower points, and this high ground is the enemy's defense point, and our men have suffered great losses here, and if they attack strongly, I am afraid the losses will be even greater." Wen Dashan raised his head and said.

"Bastard, is it you commanding or me commanding, the only thing you have to do now is to carry out the order. Now we are the Chinese Defense Forces, no longer a local armed force, nor a bandit armed force. The military order is like a mountain, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, as long as I don't give the order to stop, you will rush forward for me if you die. Liu Xiang scolded loudly, he didn't know Wen Dashan's scruples, but Wen Dashan's attitude made him angry. Although he is the chief of staff of the 99th Army, he is the actual commander of the 99th Army, but all the generals of the whole army do not buy his account, after all, this army is pulled up by Xu Zhiliang, and nearly half of them are bandit armies who support Xu Zhiliang. This made Liu Xiang's control over the troops much smaller, and it was better to deal with those scattered rebel armies in normal times, but in the face of the regular army with a whole structure, the combat effectiveness of the 99th Army was very problematic. And Wen Dashan in front of him is a senior general born of bandits, who once served as a third leader in Qingniu Mountain, and his ability is good, but he is a little wild and untamable.

"Chief of Staff, you can't afford not to take the lives of your brothers seriously. Now that the enemy is much larger than ours, the lives of my brothers who fought so hard are gone, and I refuse to carry out the order. Wen Dashan's stubborn temper also came up, and he stalked his neck and Liu Xiang to do it.

"Come on, rob him, lock me up, and when the war is over, I'm dealing with him!" Liu Xiang's face became extremely gloomy.

"Humph! Even if you kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will have an opinion on your command. As a commander, you can't trade the lives of your brothers for your military medals. Wen Dashan simply let go and said loudly without scruples.

"Take it away! Let Niu Qingshan, the deputy head of the regiment, come to see me. Liu Xiang's face was gloomy. I have long known that these regiment-level generals from the green forest are not convinced, but I didn't expect them to break out at such a critical moment.

Liu Xiang captured Wen Dashan, and the entire 99th Army was in an uproar. Although Wen Dashan is only the head of a regiment, he has a lot of prestige among the Green Forest bandits, and he is also the highest-ranking Green Forest general except for Hu Kaishan.

As the news spread, the attack of the Ninety-ninth Army came to a complete standstill. The generals from the green forest are all in danger, for fear that Chief of Staff Liu Xiang will attack them. The other generals also stopped their march and waited to see how things unfolded. …,

Hu Kaishan's Second Division Headquarters.

"Commander, you can't show up now! Commander Wen was arrested, and he, Liu Xiang, may target us next, and even you, the division commander, may become a target. Linda, the commander of the first regiment and the first battalion, said loudly. Wen Dashan was arrested, and it was his jumping up and down that caused the turmoil in the hearts of the 99th Army.

"Xiaolin, don't worry, the chief of staff didn't do anything about Dashan, Dashan confronted him in public, and he didn't accept the order. Chief of Staff Liu arrested him. I'm going to persuade the chief of staff, just let the mountains go, what's the matter with you now gathering so many officers to me. Hu Kaishan said in a deep voice.

"Commander, you can't think like that! Now that the Ninety-ninth Army can have such a scale, our Brother Green Forest has made great efforts. What did the brothers give up their happy life in the cottage to join the army, but they didn't want to follow Hu Da and Xu Sanye for a good future. But you see, now, officers from the country are constantly seizing power, and the first division except for our regiment, the other barracks are in the hands of domestic officers. It's just our group, and we have also sent a deputy head of the regiment, this is not to mix sand into our rice bowl, to show that we don't trust us! Commander, you are the boss in our green forest, you can't ignore the life and death of your brothers! Linda said loudly.

"This ......," Hu Kaishan didn't know how to answer. On the one hand, it is the reputation and good brother who have been in business for many years, and on the other hand, it is the iron-like discipline of the army.

"Commander, you can't be indifferent, otherwise all of us will be cleaned up one by one. In the end, you're left alone, and it's too late. Linda said loudly. Others kept chiming in.

"Let me think, you go down first!" Hu Kaishan said.

Command of the Ninety-ninth Army.

"They all went to the headquarters of the 2nd Division? Are you sure there's nothing missing? Liu Xiang said with an unusually ugly face.

"Chief of Staff, there are quite a few, all of them are officers from the Green Forest, and these bandits do not obey discipline. If you want me to say, we shouldn't have co-opted them in the first place. A staff officer said.

Liu Xiang's face changed, and he glared at the staff officer fiercely.

"Do you want to die? Have you forgotten the origins of the president and the prime minister? How many of our Wehrmacht are from the Green Forest, these people may not usually show anything, if we target the people of the Green Forest, it will inevitably cause their dissatisfaction, you and I are just small people in the Wehrmacht, and it is not much more difficult for those big people to pinch us to death than it is to pinch an ant to death. ”

"Chief of Staff, I was wrong!" The combat staff officer broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately there was no one else here, if these words got out, even if his position was ten times higher, he would not be able to bear it.

"Now I'm going to the headquarters of the second division, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, we can't let Lao Maozi see a joke." Liu Xiang's face was extremely solemn. This time the internal contradictions erupted too suddenly. Liu Xiang also regretted taking Wen Dashan a little in his heart.

"Chief of Staff, do you have someone to protect you?" The staff officer asked.

"No, although Hu Kaishan is very strong, he is still a Chinese, and he will not be unfavorable to me at this time." Liu Xiang waved his hand and only took two guards to the headquarters of the Second Division.

"Division commander, chief of staff is here." Hu Kaishan's henchman walked in in with a panicked face.

"How many are there?" Hu Kaishan stood up with a snort. His face was a little pale. Liu Xiang's reaction was unexpectedly fast.

"The chief of staff brought only two guards." The henchman also said puzzled.

"Two guards?" Hu Kaishan's face was even more eccentric.

"Please!"

"No need. Lao Hu, what you did this time is not authentic. So that the brothers can't get off the stage. With a hearty laugh, Liu Xiang walked in with a smile on his face.

"Chief of Staff?" Hu Kaishan's face was a little embarrassed. ..., "Lao Hu, let's talk about what we have directly." This is the battlefield, and we are soldiers. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. As the chief of staff of the 99th Army, I took the place of the commander to direct the military operations of the whole army. It is my responsibility to lead you to victory. Wen Dashan, as the head of the vanguard regiment, refused to carry out the orders issued by his superiors, and if it weren't for the fact that he was thinking that he was for the lives of his brothers, Lao Tzu would have shot him a long time ago. I came to you today, I don't mean anything else, I hope you can understand our current situation. Liu Xiang said without fear.

"Chief of Staff, I'm ......" Hu Kaishan felt his face hot. Since he served as the commander of the Second Division, Liu Xiang has never given him small shoes to wear, and the level of weapons and equipment of their Second Division is no worse than that of the First Division. For officers from the green forest, Liu Xiang has never suppressed them. Otherwise, how could a bandit leader like Wen Dashan be able to sit in the position of the head of a regiment.

"Lao Hu, now that the Russian army is entrenched in the Twin Cities, they have to wait for the British and French forces to come to their rescue, and when the British and French forces arrive, we can't fight even if we want to. And with Britain and France behind it, the Russian army may even regain the dominance of Vladivostok, and it will be very passive at home. The fruits of our bloodshed and sacrifice will also be completely wasted. Now we have to race against time, even if our entire 99th Army is exhausted, we must take the Twin Cities before the British land. Liu Xiang said loudly.

"Chief of Staff, don't say it, I know all this! It was me who was wrong! I will immediately organize the second division to attack, Chief of Staff, you look at it, we Green Forest brothers don't have a coward! Hu Kaishan was ashamed of his vacillation, and his old face turned red.

"Lao Hu, let me tell you, our reinforcements are also coming soon. Now the most important thing for our attack is to prevent the Russian army from escaping. Our task is to wipe them out cleanly. Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Hu Kaishan is really hard topped, he has no choice. Killing him would only be self-defeating.

Liu Xiang left, Lin Da also wanted to encourage Hu Kaishan to seize power, but Hu Kaishan slapped his mouth fiercely, and other green forest generals also understood their mistakes under Hu Kaishan's persuasion.

"Brothers, shame on you! Our Green Forest brothers consider themselves heroes and heroes, when have they ever been so looked down upon. We came out of the mountains for the sake of the land under our feet, and now the opportunity to defeat the Russians is in sight. Who the pretended to be cowardly, Lao Tzu killed him with his own hands. Hu Kaishan roared loudly in front of the main force of the Second Division. In exchange for a roar like a mountain.

"Charge, screw off Lao Maozi's head!" Hu Kaishan took off his coat, picked up a submachine gun, and took the lead in rushing towards the enemy's position.
