Chapter 263 Can I do it without doing business? Monthly Pass)
On Datong, the soldiers had already received the news first. Soon, the low-level officers also knew that they did not want to go to the front line to fight.
But they knew that the captain of the regiment would definitely talk to them at night.
Sure enough, after dinner in the evening, the corps leader convened all officers above the squadron leader to have a meeting, that is,
Those officers were also slow to go because they knew what the meeting was and wanted to escape this meeting.
However, the commander sent a telegraph soldier to inform them repeatedly, so they had to go.
After arriving at the command of the corps, the officers sat down.
"Baga, is it so difficult to hold a meeting? This time we came here for the honor of our Fourth Division.
I told you yesterday that you should prepare your subordinates. Our troops will go out of the city to fight and attack Yanggao County.
Why did our troops not move today? Today I was just criticized by General Miura Toshishi, saying that our troops were too lazy!" Bai Yuanqian sat there and said, looking at his subordinates!
"Captain, this is wrong. When we first came, we didn't say that. We asked us to assist the troops of the Fifth Division to defend here, rather than attack. We also asked about the Eighth Route Army in the north. The troops of the Fifth Division suffered heavy losses!
Now you ask us to go to war, don’t we go to die?" A captain sat there and said to Bai Yuanqian.
"Yes, this is wrong. When we came, we asked you if you were here to fight. You said no, we are here to defend, and there will be basically no big battle. Now we are actually asking us to dispatch two corps troops to fight, and their 5th Division troops are here to guard? How can that work?
They should attack, and we should just guard Datong. We promise not to lose Datong. It is them who want to attack, not us. You should go to them and make it clear to them. It is not that we don’t go, but that we shouldn’t go.
The order stated clearly above is that we are here to assist them in defense. If they want to attack, just go there at any time, but don’t let us attack! Now we are very unlucky here. When we were in Manchuria, we were able to get some supplies to sell.
But here has been plundered clean by the people of their Fifth Division. We have no benefits, how boring it!" Another captain also said to Bai Yuanqian!
"Goggle, we are here to fight, not to do business, have you heard it clearly?" Bai Yuanqian heard it and shouted at them with great fire.
When the officers heard this, they looked at him with strange eyes!
"Gagua, this is not Manchuria, this is Shanxi. We came to Shanxi to fight, not to do business. Can you put away your business ideas for the time being?" Bai Yuanqiannan saw them staring at him like this and said guiltily.
He had known before that the soldiers in this corps were doing business, and he didn't care at that time. Now he actually said he didn't do business. Is that okay?
"No matter how they give orders, defend us, and don't look for us in attack. We are here to defend, not to attack!" One of the captains sat there and spoke.
"Yes. Don't look for us about the offensive matter. Shanxi is the attacking place of their Fifth Division. It has nothing to do with us. How good we have lived in Manchuria before. If they hadn't asked us to come here, who would have been here? Anyway, the corps leader, you can't agree to them." A captain said!
Bai Yuanqian had a headache at this moment. Don’t talk about whether he could convince them to go to war now. He was almost convinced by them!
But the above task made him very embarrassed. Now they themselves don’t know what to do?
The meeting ended soon, and he knew that it was impossible for him to convince the officers, but they all had supporters. If they were taken down, they would not care. The successor would soon be led to the soldiers here.
The soldiers of this division are so powerful. They can convince all of them, except for those who are above the general and above the colonel, that this division is a well-known trader division and businessman, and they are so powerful!
Bai Yuanqian sat in the command center with a headache. I don’t know how to face Miura Toshiki’s questioning three days later!
"Hasn't you done it here?" At this time, Xigu Shanlang came in and asked when he looked at Bai Yuanqian who was sitting where he was touching his head.
"Baga. If I do it, I will sit here. Is there such a headache?" Bai Yuanqian cursed in anger wherever he was sitting.
"Let's tell Toshi Miura truthfully. Our troops come here, not to fight, but to help them defend. If they want to fight, they can go out at any time. The order we received was to defend!" Xigu Shanlang sat down and looked at Bai Yuanqian and said as Bai Yuanqian heard it and looked at Xigu Shanlang with a very strange look.
"What's wrong?" Xigu Shanlang looked at Bai Yuanqian and asked.
"You are so easily convinced by them. We are in the army, and we have to obey the orders. The previous orders were like this, but now the orders have changed, we have to execute new orders. Why are you convinced so quickly?" Bai Yuanqian looked at Xigu Shanlang and shook his head.
"Baga. Didn't I say I didn't agree with them? They didn't want to go at all. What can I do? Now we always have to pass this level, right? Are you still thinking that those soldiers will really follow you out to fight? Don't even think about it!
They were all delaying here, let alone attacking the Eighth Route Army in the north. This unit defeated the Fifth Division's troops. Now we are on the way, aren't we looking for death?" Xigu Shanlang sat there and looked at him and asked.
"Baga, what should we do!" Bai Yuanqian sat wherever he touched his head and said with a headache.
On the side of Shiro Hiroshi, he also received a telegram from Toshizu Miura that the two troops of the Fourth Division had not yet attacked, and now he didn't know when they would attack!
"Baiga, it's been a week since we've been there, aren't we going to attack yet? Do we have to wait for the Eighth Route Army troops to attack the city again? Come on, please ask General Matsui to come over. I have something important to talk to him!" After reading the telegram, Shiro Onoshige shouted in anger.
