Chapter 411 At your own risk
Yu Xiaoqing's personality is torn between ideals and reality, making him proud but inferior, sensitive but dull. In short, he hates himself now.
"Chief of Staff Wang, please take your people back. We have two regiments in the Yu Division and you have one. It's a mess and it's easy for trouble to happen! After we have finished the screening, if they are all innocent, I will send them back to you! Please!"
Yu Xiaoqing made a gesture of invitation, meaning that the two regiments of the Yu Division can wipe out your Sichuan Army in minutes, so you just have to give in today and take the troops back, we have a long way to go.
But is Wang Meng someone who would surrender so easily?
He shook his head slowly, and seeing that the sun was almost at its highest point in the sky, he asked the guard to bring him a chair, and then he leisurely ate his compressed biscuits.
"Pass on my order. All soldiers of the Sichuan Army will have lunch on the spot!"
This time, the training was conducted according to actual combat conditions, so every soldier brought three days' supply of compressed biscuits. They had been craving for these in the first place, and now they could finally enjoy their feast with a legitimate reason!
When Yu Xiaoqing saw that the soldiers of the independent column had put down their guns and turned off the safety, he waved to Yu Shi's troops and lowered his gun as well.
He just wanted to win without fighting. After all, this was the team that Chief Wei had invited, so he should give him some face. If there was an accidental discharge of a gun, it would be difficult to deal with!
The soldiers of the independent column tore open the tin foil of the compressed biscuits, took a bite of the biscuit and drank a sip of water. The sweet taste filled the air, causing the soldiers of Master Yu to swallow their saliva.
He looked eagerly at the new toys in the hands of the independent column soldiers.
In less than ten minutes, the soldiers patted their bellies, licked their fingers contentedly, and looked at Master Yu proudly.
The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!
Yu Xiaoqing felt uncomfortable when he saw his soldiers confronting others while hungry.
"Deputy Commander Tang, please prepare some food for everyone!"
Deputy Commander Tang nodded and asked the messenger to notify everyone to bring up the steamed buns from the kitchen team in baskets.
It would have been good to have steamed buns to eat, but because there was little flour and two regiments suddenly arrived, the kitchen staff had no preparation and each soldier could only get a quarter of a black steamed bun.
Tang Ji took a steamed bun and handed it to Yu Xiaoqing's hand, pressing it gently.
"Just eat it! There are so many people watching!"
Yu Xiaoqing looked at the black steamed bun, which was much better than the boiled banana roots in salt water that he had eaten at the Jiqi Hill. However, he couldn't open his mouth when he saw that the soldiers around him could only get steamed buns as big as boogers.
"Give it to the soldiers. I'm not hungry."
After distributing the steamed buns, Yu Xiaoqing moved a chair and sat down without saying a word, ready to play a protracted battle.
However, how could the hungry Master Yu possibly withstand the powerful independent column?
It was terribly hot in Yunnan in early May. There was not a dry spot on anyone's body. Everyone was relying on their willpower to hold on.
People on both sides kept fainting, but it was obvious that the number of people fainting from Master Yu was much greater than that from the independent column.
Because the soldiers of the independent column only fainted due to heatstroke, but Master Yu was still at risk of hypoglycemia.
So until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the weather was a little cooler, Division Yu carried away more than a hundred soldiers, while the independent column only carried away more than forty.
It was time for dinner again. This time, the Independent Column did not prepare compressed biscuits, but instead brought up several large buckets of instant noodles and mung bean soup.
The soldiers had been standing for a whole day and the moisture in their bodies had long been dried up by the sun. After drinking two bowls of mung bean soup, they felt so refreshed.
Coupled with the fresh, fragrant and spicy spicy beef noodles, everyone's mouth is full of oil.
Master Yu’s dinner was much simpler. Having learned from the experience at noon, at least he had enough black-faced steamed buns at night.
After being exposed to the sun for a day, the soldiers struggled to stuff the steamed buns into their throats, and then swallowed them with great effort using their Adam's apples. Veins bulged on all of them, and it was as if they were swallowing sand with great effort.
"Deputy Commander Tang, give the soldiers something to drink!"
"Master Yu, our budget is limited. This is already the most decent meal we have. It is made of white flour donated by Country M!"
It would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Yu Xiaoqing broke the black steamed bun and spread it in front of Tang Ji.
"Deputy Commander Tang, you also know that the aid from Country M is white flour? This steamed bun is blacker than Lord Bao's face!"
"My dear Commander Yu, you are not the head of the family, so you don't know how expensive vegetables, rice, oil and salt are! It's good enough that this flour can be distributed to us. From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs to the military, as long as they are involved, they will all have some meat on their hands! That's it!"
For the first time, Tang Ji had people bring several large buckets of well water, and then poured a bag of brown sugar into each bucket, finally redefining these buckets of well water.
After drinking the relatively cool well water, Yu Shi's soldiers regained some strength and started staring at the independent column again.
Wang Meng looked at Yu Xiaoqing with chapped lips and was full of admiration.
It was such a hot day, but he just sat there without drinking a sip of water or eating a bite of food, and he didn't even unbutton a single button, sitting like a painting.
"Forget it! I think it's almost time, it's time to end it!"
Wang Meng stood up from the stool and patted his butt which had already become numb.
The corners of Yu Xiaoqing's mouth twitched unconsciously, and it seemed that he had already determined that the victory of this boring fight belonged to the Yu family army!
"Please go ahead, Chief of Staff Wang! I promise to send them to you once we have sorted them out! Just don't recruit any guerrillas or militias at will in the future, to avoid any more trouble!"
Wang Meng curled his lips and sat in the passenger seat of the jeep.
"No, no, no, I'm not waiting for you to finish screening. I'm going to take them all away right now. Not a single one will be left behind!"
Yu Xiaoqing's stiff upper body did not move at all, but his lower body supported his torso. His cracked and white lips moved up and down, and a hoarse and harsh sound came out of his dry throat.
"Chief of Staff Wang, are you being too arrogant? What if I don't agree?"
"Haha, Commander Yu, I think you will definitely agree, and I advise you to agree as soon as possible. Don't sacrifice the lives of the soldiers just for your face and your backbone."
Yu Xiaoqing seemed to be watching Wang Meng, who had suffered from heatstroke and was talking nonsense, and the expression on his face gradually became more complicated.
Contempt, disdain, madness and anger.
"Why? Just your Sichuan Army? A newly formed Sichuan Army that is still in training? Chief of Staff Wang, I also advise you to leave my position immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
As soon as Yu Xiaoqing finished speaking, the restless He Shuguang and Zhang Lixian pulled the bolts of their guns and took a step forward like fighting cocks!
"What if I have more than one regiment?"
