Chapter 80 208 Heights (18)

The Chief of Staff and several brigade commanders were waiting for Li Tianshu to have a meeting. Because the Americans had a temporary truce, they actually said they would start a meaningful negotiation with the Sixth Division. As for the content of the negotiation, the Americans did not say that they agreed to start negotiations between the positions of the two sides around 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Li Xianyu, who received the news, naturally held an emergency meeting.

"What? Americans are going to negotiate with us. What the hell is this American being?" Li Xianyu walked in cursingly and complained to the Chief of Staff and several brigade commanders. It was obvious that he obviously did not believe in the sincerity of the Americans.

The chief of staff smiled and said, "This matter is clearly a trap. Of course, the negotiation between the Americans and the division commander is also beneficial to us. As for the benefits, I think you must know the teacher,"

Li Xianyu smiled and said, "I said Lao Gui, you really want to test me. Do you really think we have many benefits?"

Chief of Staff Gui Zhan smiled and said, "Teacher, at least we can give our soldiers a good rest overnight, right? Since the Americans have taken the initiative to ask for negotiations, do they want to attack tonight? I don't think this is a possibility."

Li Xianyu said: "There is no possibility for Americans to attack sneakily. The higher they go, the harder they go. Unless they have the real strength to break through our defense, they will definitely cause us some losses if they rely on sneakily attacks. However, if they want to truly destroy our position, it is delusional."

The commander of the first brigade said: "Teacher, I think you will definitely not be able to go to tomorrow's negotiations. If these people cheat, your safety will not be guaranteed. What if..."

Li Xianyu said: "I understand what you mean. If I have any accidents, our army's morale will be greatly hit by then, right? I am clear about this, so don't worry, I can't go there. But I also want to know what tricks Americans are playing, haha!"

Gui Zhan said: "Why should I go for you? If I go, there will be two benefits. First, even if I have any accidents, it will not have any fundamental impact on the Sixth Division. Second, I can understand English, so I can hear any problems they have on the fly. Teacher, please see?"

Li Xianyu shook his head and said, "I definitely won't agree with this. It's too dangerous. My life is life, but your life is not life? Isn't this a reason? I think it's better for us to be calm now. Chief of Staff, you'll stay honestly for me. I mean, negotiations are OK, if the Americans insist on negotiating, they must come to our position. If they don't negotiate, they will do whatever they want, haha, so we won't have such an accident."

Gui Zhan laughed and said, "I think this method is good. Since the Americans want to negotiate, let them send out a minion? This will delay more time at that time. What we lack the most now is time. Since Americans are willing to spend time, we are naturally happy to accompany us. Haha!"

Li Xianyu said: "Do you have any better suggestions? If so, just say it outright and I will refer to it!"

Several people shook their heads at the same time, and the second brigade commander said, "If the Americans don't agree to our opinions, wouldn't we lose money when we start fighting directly? At that time, the damage will be much more if one more day? I think we can have two plans."

Li Xianyu said in confusion and said with a smile: "Second Brigade Commander, come on, come on, smoke a cigarette, what two plans do you tell me about?"

The second brigade commander said: "The first plan is to tell them first and let them agree to negotiate with us. The second plan is actually not complicated. It is to prepare a few people to change into your clothes or something. I guess the Americans on the other side don't know that you are our teacher. We just need to choose someone with a more mature appearance."

Li Xianyu said: "I understand what you mean. What you mean is to send someone out during negotiations, which means to pretend to be me? Then you can start the negotiations directly. The main thing is to delay time, right?"

Gui Zhan said: "Well, division commander, this method is also good. For example, let a soldier go over and then write down the content of the American negotiations. Finally, he said he needed to come back and consider it, such as giving them a reply within three days. I think this is enough, right? Otherwise, he would ask for instructions on his superiors..."

Li Xianyu said: "I think this method is OK, so let's do it like this. In addition to the necessary staff on duty, everyone should have a good rest. Open the water source for the brothers and get more canned beef, so that our brothers can feel more comfortable."

In fact, with the increasing number of deaths, the water source is also very sufficient. Li Xianyu knew that after sufficient water source, their next task was to spend a lot of money with the Americans. As long as they could spend more one day, they would have more hope.

Now that Americans ask for this, they will naturally not refuse. Americans think that their plans will be fooled, but how could it be that simple? The people of the Sixth Division are not fools either.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that this is a trap at once. They are embarrassed to let the Chinese jump in such a trap? This method can be said that many times have Chinese used it. We played the rest of the game, and you still play it with it?

If Brown knew that the people in the Sixth Division thought so, he might have fallen downstairs. This person could not be lost.

Brown said at the US military command center: "Is there any news over there? Have you agreed to the negotiation? They should be able to receive the Mingcoded telegram?" Brown was also very anxious at the moment, after all, these people had hindered their entire plan.

The Eighth Army also had no choice because of the 08 Highlands. The Eighth Army had to face the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops in Pyongyang. Although on the surface, Brown did not care at all, but in fact Brown was already very nervous.

The Eighth Army now does not want to retreat, but cannot retreat. Once they retreat, they will be empty. The Chinese can be in a big army at any time and open up the defense of Seoul at any time.

You should know that the main defense of the front line of Seoul is Seoul. There are basically only some advantages in the terrain in front, but there is no heavy army to guard it. The main reason is that the difficulty of guarding heavy army is too great, and there are basically no decent cities.

The 08 Highland seems so important at this moment, but at that time, the Americans did not expect the Chinese to come to Seoul. They thought that since they participated in the war, wouldn’t they be as powerful as the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves?

But in fact, this is not the case. The effect of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves has not been achieved, and now it is like a snail crawling. The gap between the two is extremely huge.

The Eighth Army seemed to be waiting for the Chinese attack, but in fact, the battle for more than a month made them exhausted, and they also wanted to have a good rest. Unfortunately, the current situation does not seem to be very optimistic, which makes people feel a little unnatural.

Only when all the Chinese on the 08 Highlands were eliminated will the Eighth Army be considered truly liberated. Otherwise, as long as Brown did not order, the Eighth Army would be nailed there like a nail, and the Chinese would never be allowed to support the 08 Highlands.

Otherwise, it would be fine if they didn't get it by then. Even the Chinese on the 08 Highlands that sneaked into Seoul would be escaped. Brown would definitely not accept this result. In fact, Brown can accept any result now, but Brown can accept it, but General MacArthur will definitely not accept it. This is not a good thing.

MacArthur could no longer tolerate Brown. He really didn't know whether the Americans' combat effectiveness was so poor or other reasons? Of course, although Brown's command ability is not particularly outstanding, MacArthur also knew it. As Brown, who graduated from West Point Military Academy, is it really useless?

Obviously it is impossible. It's just that Brown and MacArthur's factions are different. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, Brown himself has a good record, but under the aura of Lieutenant General Walker, there are not so many people paying attention to him. Now that he is suddenly paid attention, Brown is actually very uncomfortable.

A general stood up and said, "Grandmaster-in-Chief, we have just received a telegram from the Chinese people on the 08 Highlands. Their request was to enter their positions to negotiate. Otherwise, they would refuse this negotiation. They said that they were waiting for the scene of blood flowing into a river and would never retreat until the last soldiers..."

"Enough!" Brown interrupted the man impatiently, and then said calmly: "Call back immediately, saying that only at the forefront of both sides' positions is the fairest, otherwise neither side will have the minimum respect. In addition, we are now in a favorable state of attack, and hope that they can recognize the situation in front of them..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" The general stood up immediately and went out. Brown's face looked a little ugly, and he thought to himself: "Can these Chinese people have seen our intentions? Obviously it is impossible?"

Brown is actually a little confused. You, the party that has the advantage, actually mainly asks for negotiations, which itself is a bit confusing. Now you take the initiative to negotiate with the Sixth Division. In this way, the Sixth Division has no doubt that there will be a ghost if it is a good thing that has fallen from the sky. However, Brown still feels that his plan is foolproof.

It is impossible to be foolproof, but now Brown must give it a try. Of course, Brown also knows the urgency and importance of time. But if the commander of the division opposite China can be killed, their losses and offensive efficiency will be greatly improved, so in this case, Brown will never give up.

Li Xianyu and Brown spent almost a day on the issue of position. Nowadays, Americans and Chinese people hope to have a chance to breathe. But for both sides, the one who can maximize the benefits is definitely not Americans, but Chinese, and there is absolutely no doubt about this.

It was not until the evening that Li Xianyu showed signs of letting go. Li Xianyu called Brown back and said: "If the US insists on negotiating in the central government of the position, then we have our conditions, and we must protect the safety of our personnel." In fact, what Li Xianyu said was nonsense, just to make the Americans feel that the Chinese are naive, so that they look more real.

Of course, this is the case for anyone. Americans now feel that their plan is about to succeed. At such a critical moment, they will definitely not make any moves.

Brown was afraid that someone would accidentally discover a flaw, and that would be bad at that time. Now for Brown, being able to kill the commander of the Sixth Division is also a very big record. Human requirements are always reduced step by step. Now for Brown, it is basically just a word, wait!

Since Li Xianyu wants to drag him down, he has no choice. In fact, it is normal for Americans to not know who the commander of the Sixth Division is, because the commander of the Sixth Division was just revoked by Luo Jiapeng. Americans know that the commander of the Sixth Division has been replaced, and they still don’t know who it is.

Since this is the case, they can only have the clothes and epaulettes of these people.

At noon the next day, Li Xianyu's telegram came late. He said he had already thought it through, that is, to negotiate in front of the position at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. Brown's heart was stuck in a breath. He couldn't speak out, and Brown felt that he didn't have much time to live. Now Brown had such breath in his heart, and this breath was blocked by Li Xianyu and others.

Li Xianyu delayed time like this, but Brown did not dare to move. This was like getting a rope to tie him up. It was so uncomfortable. But Brown had to stick to it because he proposed this suggestion himself, not someone else.

If it doesn't work at this time, then where will the majesty of his commander-in-chief be placed? So in this case, even if Brown knew that the people from the Sixth Division were delaying time, he could only persist on his own, instead of pointing out that it was inappropriate. So Li Xianyu also took advantage of this. Of course, they were purely trying to delay time, so how could he know that Brown would cooperate so much?

If he knew that Brown had such difficulties, Lee Hyun-woo would never have delayed it for only one or two days, at least five or six days.
