Chapter 235
Huang Baitao was angry and sneered, "It's ridiculous, I want to see what kind of ability he, Xu Shijiu, has to keep me."
However, as soon as Huang Baitao finished speaking, a communications soldier hurried over, whispered a few words with the ears of the guard battalion commander. The guard battalion commander rushed over again and whispered to Chen Shizhang. Chen Shizhang's face changed drastically after hearing this. He walked to Huang Baitao's side and lowered his voice and said, "The situation is not very good."
Huang Baitao stood up and left the table, walked behind the mill with Chen Shizhang, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shizhang took a breath and said, "Military throne, just reported the frontier guard post that the 1st regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui have arrived from Tongling County and Mikatsu Prefecture respectively. The 1st regiment of the New Fourth Army's Southern Anhui Detachment has also arrived at Niutouzui. We have been surrounded by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui."
"What?" Huang Baitao's face changed drastically.
The 1st Regiment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the 4th Regiment, and the 1st Regiment of the top main regiment of the New Fourth Army's Southern Anhui Detachment, which is the only regiment that broke out during the Southern Anhui Incident, has a total force of more than 10,000 people, almost twice that of the 40th Division of Chen Shizhang, and the gap in combat power is even more disparate.
In other words, if both sides really want to fight, the 40th Division has no chance of winning.
Chen Shizhang's face also collapsed and he sighed: "Military, now we have become fish on the chopping board."
Huang Baitao was also a little annoyed. If he had known this, he would not have hesitated just now and would not kill Xu Shijiu. At least he should have detained Xu Shijiu first, so that they could still take the initiative.
Chen Shizhang asked Huang Baitao again: "Military throne, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do?" Huang Baitao sighed, "I can only learn from Xu Shijiu, negotiate, delay time, and then quickly send a telegram to the Army Command and the War Zone Chief, requesting Commander-in-Chief Shangguan and Chief Gu to urgently transfer reinforcements to the reinforcements. Otherwise, we can only obediently hand over the military supplies to the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army."

"Old Xu, we are not late, are we?"
"Commander, we're not late, are we?"
Li Zihan and Niu Yutang came to Xu Shijiu panting and stood attentively.
"No, you are here just right." Xu Shijiu replied to the courtesy and said to Gao Shenxing. Niu Sigen, "The initiative in the situation has been transferred to us now. Huang Baitao wants to negotiate again, but it is not the distribution comparison just now."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zaitou came over to report: "Commander, Commander Chen of the 40th Division asked to see you."
Xu Shijiu asked someone to bring in a chair, sit down, and then said, "Let him come in."
Liu Dagutou went outside the temporary command center to bring Chen Shizhang in. Chen Shizhang stood attentively and saluted, saying, "Commander Xu, our military throne asked me to ask you, the negotiations just now have not ended, why did you leave without saying goodbye.
Xu Shijiu laughed and said, "Teacher Chen, if I didn't leave just now, I'm afraid I'll be dead."
Chen Shizhang did not expect Xu Shijiu to be so straightforward, and his face looked a little embarrassed for a moment, but soon he calmed down and pretended to be surprised: "Commander Xu was joking. No matter what, our army and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army are friendly forces, and we will never hurt friendly forces for no reason."
Gao Shenxing, who was standing behind Xu Shijiu, groaned and said, "Do you still do little to hurt friendly forces? Don't tell me that your army has not participated in the Southern Anhui Incident and has never killed the New Fourth Army."
"Our army participated in the Southern Anhui Incident, but this has nothing to do with our military captains." Chen Shizhang explained, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Commander Xu, our military captains said that he really doesn't want to see the Third Army and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army kill each other, so he hopes to continue the negotiations just now until the two sides reach an agreement."
"Why are we willing to kill each other?" Xu Shijiu said, "Okay, since Military Master Huang is so sincere, we certainly don't mind continuing the previous negotiations. However, the negotiation venue has to be changed. It was negotiated on your army's territory before. Should we change it in our territory now?"
"This..." Chen Shizhang said in a difficult situation, "I have to go back and ask what the military captain means."
"Then you go back and ask the post Huang Junmao." Xu Shijiu said, "The post Huang Junmao wants to talk, so I'll wait here. If he doesn't want to talk, then I'll wait for him here, waiting for him and the 40th Division to release the horse."
"Goodbye" Chen Shizhang's expression calmed down, he saluted, turned around and left.
Watching Chen Shizhang's figure go away, Gao Shenxing asked: "Old Xu, do you think Huang Baitao will come?"
Niu Sigen said: "I think he probably won't come. This is obviously a Hongmen Banquet, not to mention that the captain has had a criminal record of denied Zhang Wenqing."
Shu Tongwen said: "But I think Huang Baitao will definitely come."
Gao Shenxing asked in confusion: "Awen, are you so confident?"
Shu Tongwen said: "There are only two choices in front of Huang Baitao. You either start a war or delay time, waiting for Shangguan Yunxiang's reinforcements. If the war starts now, do you think Chen Shizhang's 40th Division may win? If you want to delay time, Huang Baitao should come over to negotiate."
Gao Shenxing said: "Are he not afraid that Lao Xu will take him as a hostage?"
Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said, "Whether Huang Baitao comes or not, we must be prepared."
After saying that, Xu Shijiu turned his head and ordered Li Zihan and Niu Yutang: "Zihan, Yutang, you go back now and let the troops prepare for battle. In short, until the last moment, we will never start the battle easily. However, if Huang Baitao insists on taking away the materials that originally belonged to us, he will have to fight."
"Yes" Li Zihan, Niu Yutang stood at attention, turned around and left.

"It's so unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable"
The news reached the head of the Third War Zone, and Gu Zhutong was furious.
Shangguan Yunxiang happened to be in the meeting at the chief's office and said in a fierce voice: "General, it seems that he must be awesome to Xu Shijiu."
"Give orders to 19 Pei immediately, and orders to 19 Pei immediately." Gu Zhutong suddenly turned around and shouted, "Take the Longkou County Town, take down Longkou County Town, and transfer all the three divisions of Rongyu and the P Army to the whole. I don't believe that I can't destroy a mere southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army."

As Shu Tongwen said, Huang Baitao came eventually.
"Commander Xu, I have asked Commander-in-Chief Shangguan and Chief Executive Officer. Commander-in-Chief Shangguan and Chief Gu agreed to make some appropriate concessions." Huang Baitao said, "Our current conditions are like this. The machinery and equipment in this batch of materials must be returned to the war zone unconditionally. The remaining arms can be divided into 55% and each side will take half of each of them?"
"Mr. Huang, are you kidding me?" Xu Shijiu said coldly, "I agree to the 55% arms division. As for those machines, sorry, I, Xu, will never give up people."
Among these military supplies, the most precious thing is not the batch of arms, but the machinery and equipment.
Because arms are disposable consumables, they are gone after consumption, but machinery and equipment are production tools. With the help of these machinery and equipment, we can continuously produce arms and continue to provide arms to the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. As long as we are not fools, it is easy to know which one is important.
Huang Baitao frowned. Even though he knew that the current negotiations were just to delay time, Xu Shijiu's tough attitude also made Huang Baitao feel uncomfortable, and this guy was really unwilling to suffer any loss.
Huang Baitao said at the moment: "Commander Xu, with your attitude, it may be difficult for the negotiation to continue."
"Mr. Huang, this is my attitude, always." Xu Shijiu said, "If you can't make a decision, please follow Commander-in-Chief Shangguan or Chief Gu as soon as possible. If you think it's too troublesome to run back and forth, you can also use our intelligence department's radio station to send a telegram to the chief department. How about it?"
Huang Baitao was moved. The reason why he proposed this negotiation was mainly to delay time. Now that Xu Shijiu has taken the initiative to propose to borrow the intelligence department to send him a call to the war zone chief, why don’t he do it? Although the radio waves spread quickly, they can be translated through the secret codes, and no matter how fast they are, it will take half an hour.
Huang Baitao said, "I'm afraid I really have to borrow your Intelligence Department radio station."
