Chapter 234
After Huang Baitao became the commander, the military discipline and combat effectiveness of the army were restored, but Huang Baitao would never be arrogant enough to believe that Chen Shizhang alone could defeat the two regiments of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.
What's more, another main group of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui may also come from Chizhou at any time.
Since Niu Yutang's 4th regiment withdrew from the battle so quickly, it is not difficult for another regiment to withdraw from the battle.
A ruthless look flashed through the lazy man's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Military throne, it's not appropriate to be delayed, but it will change later. I believe that the main force of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui should take advantage of the opportunity that Xu Shijiu had only one cavalry battalion beside him, and take advantage of the opportunity that Xu Shijiu had only one cavalry battalion, and then take action decisively to kill Xu Shijiu on the spot, then disperse his cavalry battalion, and then quickly withdraw to Jingxian."
Huang Baitao was shocked when he heard this. From a military perspective alone, the lazy man's suggestion was undoubtedly very correct. In any case, the 40th Division was still taking the initiative at this time, and the choice between fighting or not fighting was still in his hands. However, if the two main groups of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui arrived, he had to give up his initiative.
By then, Xu Shijiu has to decide whether to fight or not, and Huang Baitao can only deal with it passively.
However, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and the Third Army were friendly forces after all. If the two sides really wanted to go to war, it would not be just a military issue, but it would cause political disputes. Because he was not from Huangpu's direct line, Huang Baitao had to consider more when doing things. He finally got the opportunity to lead troops independently, but he didn't want to return to the War Zone Chief Office or the Military Commission to be a bullshit senior senator because of a misjudgment.
Seeing that Huang Baitao was still hesitating, the lazy man became a little anxious and said, "The military throne should be interrupted and will be in trouble."
The expression on Huang Baitao's face was cloudy and sunny, and he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Li Mu felt the change in the atmosphere at the scene keenly, and leaned into Xu Shijiu's ears and said, "Captain, the atmosphere looks a little wrong. I am worried that Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang will be anxious, so why don't you leave here first?"
Xu Shijiu looked at the mill and was a little hesitant for a moment. Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang had been away for so long, and obviously they wouldn't really go to the toilet. The two were obviously discussing solutions. Even though they knew they could not do it well, they could not rule out the possibility of the two killing in desperation.
Huang Baitao may not have expected that the battle in Tongling County would end so soon, nor that Niu Yutang's 4th Regiment would withdraw from the battle so quickly, but he should know that the more the situation in Niu Touzui was dragged back, the more unfavorable it would be for him. In view of this, it is entirely possible that Huang Baitao chose to take action first.
Xu Shijiu didn't think Huang Baitao would also believe in the creed that the Chinese would not beat the Chinese.
However, Xu Shijiu was also worried that if he left at this time, it would give Huang Baitao an illusion that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was determined to start a war. If this was the case, the situation in Niu Touzu might quickly lose control, and this was something Xu Shijiu was extremely reluctant to see. Xu Shijiu really didn't want to go to war with the Di Army.
Ye Ruxue felt Xu Shijiu's hesitation. She also thought that Xu Shijiu would be in danger of life if he stayed here. She immediately leaned into Xu Shijiu's ear and said, "Commander, why don't you and Xiaomu go to meet with the cavalry battalion first, and I will stay here to continue negotiating with Huang Baitao, how about it?"
Li Mu immediately said, "Captain, I think Director Ye's opinion is acceptable."
Xu Shijiu looked at Ye Ruxue and said, "Director Ye, then you must pay attention to safety."
Ye Ruxue smiled and whispered: "As long as you are alive, nothing will happen to me, and I believe you will never leave me alone, right?"
"Of course." Xu Shijiu glanced at Ye Ruxue deeply, got up and walked out.
The guards guarding the side of the sun field tried to stop them, but were directly knocked away by Li Mu and about 20 veterans from the 5th Brigade. Because they did not receive the order to go up the peak, the guards of the 40th Division did not dare to shoot rashly, so they could only watch Xu Shijiu leave under the protection of Li Mu and the 5th Brigade.

Gu Zhutong's secret telegram became the last straw that crushed the camel in Huang Baitao's heart.
After reading the secret telegram from Gu Zhutong to the 40th Division headquarters, Huang Baitao finally made up his mind and immediately asked Chen Shizhang's adjutant to find two guard uniforms for the lazy man and another gunman, let them pretend to be guards and sneak into the neighborhood of the negotiation site, and then search for machine guns to kill Xu Shijiu.
Although he was determined to take action, Huang Baitao was still careful. He did not let the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division take action, but asked the military commanders to be evil people. In this way, even if the matter was exposed in the future, Huang Baitao also had something to say that he could completely put the blame on the military commander. As for the military commander, it was because there were too many fleas and they would not bite them.
The lazy man came with the mission of assassinating Xu Shijiu, so of course he would not refuse.
The two sides hit it off, and the lazy man and another gunman immediately changed into the guard's clothes, followed Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang back to the sunbathing ground.
However, what surprised Huang Baitao and Lazy Man was that Xu Shijiu actually left.
The person who sat in the negotiation seat on behalf of Xu Shijiu was Ye Ruxue, the director of the Intelligence Department of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui.
"Director Ye?" Xu Shijiu had already introduced it just now, so Huang Baitao already knew Ye Ruxue, so he asked, "Where are you Xu Si? Have you been relieved?"
Ye Ruxue smiled, but no response from the public.
Chen Shizhang became anxious and grabbed the guard commander next to him and scolded: "I can't even see what you eat."
The guard battalion commander smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say, he couldn't say it directly, you didn't give a clear order, let's watch Xu Shijiu, not to mention that Xu Shijiu was not alone. He had a guard beside him. Even if he really fought, he might not be able to keep him.
"Waste, a group of waste, can't even look down on someone." Chen Shizhang cursed.
Ye Ruxue said: "Master Chen should not make things difficult for Battalion Commander Chen. Our commander is leaving, how can Battalion Commander Chen stop him?"
Huang Baitao said sternly: "Director Ye, Commander Xu left without saying goodbye at this time. Can I think so? Commander Xu has determined that the negotiation has failed and is ready to use force, right?"
"Mr. Huang is probably thinking too much." Ye Ruxue smiled and continued, "Our commander didn't say that."
The lazy man standing behind Huang Baitao suddenly interrupted and asked, "So, Commander Xu will come back, right?"
Ye Ruxue did not answer immediately, but stared at the lazy man with a slightly narrowed eyes and asked Huang Baitao: "Mr. Huang, this commander didn't seem to have participated in the negotiations just now. I remember correctly, right?"
The lazy man's expression froze, and then he realized that he was a little careless.
It was also the lazy man who was in a hurry to kill Xu Shijiu, so he was so careless.
Although the lazy man had never met Ye Ruxue and was not afraid that Ye Ruxue would see through his identity, his current identity was just a major staff officer, but he was interrupted so abruptly, which was indeed a bit unruly.
Huang Baitao also realized this and shouted: "There is no place for you to speak here, get out of here.
The lazy man walked to the side in disgrace. Then Huang Baitao smiled and said to Ye Ruxue, "Director Ye, this is the combat staff of our 40th Division. He is young and energetic. I hope you don't have the same knowledge as him."
"Combat Staff?" Ye Ruxue stared at the lazy man's back, thinking.
Huang Baitao wanted to slap himself in the face. The more he concealed it, the more he was, the more he was wrong. This lazy man came from the Military Control Commission, and naturally he had a cold breath on his body. He didn't look like a staff officer from a military academy at all. However, he had already said it, and Huang Baitao didn't want to explain it anymore, otherwise he would become darker and darker.
Huang Baitao said to Ye Ruxue: "Director Ye, since Commander Xu has left, I don't care what his reason is, but his departure has become a fact. Then I believe that he doesn't want to continue negotiations. So, we have to leave. I hope Director Ye will tell Commander Xu that 30% of his supplies can be collected at any time from Jingxian."
Of course, this is Huang Baitao's excuse. If this batch of supplies is really transported back to Jingxian, let alone 30%, even if there is a bullet, Huang Baitao will never give it to Xu Shijiu. Moreover, even if Huang Baitao is willing to give it to him, Shangguan Yunxiang and Gu Zhutong will not agree.
Of course, Ye Ruxue would not respond clearly, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, I advise you to wait for our commander to come back."
Huang Baitao's pupils shrank slightly and he asked in a deep voice: "Director Ye, are you threatening me?"
