My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 239
The so-called opportunists are those who use all means to achieve their own goals. They do not follow rules and ethics, and regard dogmatic rules as rotten Confucianism.

Its highest pursuit is to achieve one's own goals, to measure everything by results, and not to pay attention to process.If it has principles, then its highest principle is the one who wins and loses.

Zhong Bin is such a typical example. If he thinks that something is not feasible, he will not make any sacrifices, let alone consider any immoral issues, because he feels that any kind of sacrifice is a shameful waste.

And once things turn around, he will react immediately in order to maximize his own interests.I don't care what other people think, as long as I get the benefits, that's the kingly way.

No... He thought that the Nantian Gate, which he couldn't beat, would soon be taken by Liao Mingyu. His own side had obvious advantages, and the balance of victory was tilted towards the Sichuan Army. How could he be indifferent and miss the opportunity at this juncture?
"Xiaoqing, immediately arrange your troops to cross the river, and try your best to take down Nantianmen before the Japanese reinforcements arrive."

Zhong Bin looked at the devastated West Bank, and quietly said something unexpected.

"Junzuo figured it out?" Yu Xiaoqing looked surprised, pointing to the opposite bank and said with some regret: "If we had let the troops cross the river last night, maybe now the Nantian Gate has been taken down, let alone such a big one." casualties."

More than half of the second main regiment on the west bank was killed and injured, which made him feel distressed. Although Liao Mingyu finally pushed the fourth battalion of the Sichuan Army to the top, it was a new battalion with very limited combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it would not have been beaten so badly that the field hospital They are full of people.

"Hmph! Are you ashamed to mention casualties to me?"

Zhong Bin snorted coldly, saw through Yu Xiaoqing with sharp eyes, and said angrily, "Don't think I don't know your little Jiujiu? Didn't you decide to let that army stay on the west bank, and they would suffer so many casualties? Ah! ?”

Yu Xiaoqing was at a loss for words, and she was very cautious, but Zhong Bin could see it.

"You are still too young. Since Liao Mingyu is bound to win, he will definitely risk everything to attack. Without your regiment, he can fight to the present situation, but the price is even higher."

Zhong Bin glared at him fiercely and said the key point of the matter. Seeing that Yu Xiaoqing didn't speak, he continued to reprimand him sharply: "No matter how you say it, Master Yu is also a unit of our 71st Army. I definitely don't want to take my life for such a thing." Will do it. Who will help you when all the troops in hand are gone?"

"Don't you want to fight because you're afraid of losing this battle!?" Yu Xiaoqing immediately retorted unconvinced.

"Fight? Of course we have to fight. Let them fight first. It's like saying now, when the Sichuan Army can't hold on, your new force will appear again. It will reduce the loss and get the result. Why not do it?"

Zhong Bin chuckled and looked down on the entire battlefield, as if everything was under his control:
"Do you know how many people want to see that you don't fall behind in such a dozen? You have to look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation rather than acting quickly. Everything needs to be calculated and weighed. When you are really in a high position Then maybe you will understand what I mean.”

"Those are not issues that I should consider. Soldiers should stand ready to defend their homes and the country. I respect Yue Wumu the most in my life, and I want to do his great deeds of serving the country loyally and regaining the mountains and rivers."

Gritting her teeth, Yu Xiaoqing said unwillingly, he felt more and more distanced from these people.Compared with them, I am a strange person, but the Liao Mingyu who was hated so much at the beginning is actually the same kind of person as him.

"Yue Fei? Huh! You have to have that life." Zhong Bin sneered at this.

"You are thirty-five this year, right? My old classmate Song Xilian is the same age as you. Look at him... a lieutenant general of the army, and then look at you? Tang Ji is right, there is no ambition to serve the country, but you have no choice but to go to Jinghua .”

Yu Xiaoqing wanted to say something, but the former raised his hand to stop him: "Xiaoqing, your father has high expectations for you, and we can be regarded as people on the same boat after all, I won't hide some things from you, I will Let me ask you, do you really intend to be the Master Lengtouqing for the rest of your life?"

Yu Xiaoqing looked at him in surprise, not knowing what the words meant?

"Heh... People go to high places, but water flows to low places. After this battle, it's time to mention your position. Thanks to that Liao Mingyu who became a stepping stone."

"Remember, he can help you now, and he will also stand in your way in the future. You have the entire Yu family behind you. You are destined to be different. This is the way to be an official. It is very important to choose the right friends."

Zhong Binyu's earnest lesson made Yu Xiaoqing feel a sense of powerlessness, as if he was facing Tang Ji's nagging again, but every word in his words punished his heart.

Zhong Bin looked at Yu Xiaoqing proudly and said nothing more.If it wasn't for Mr. Yu's sake, I really wouldn't be bothered to waste so many words.

Yu Xiaoqing had some headaches, he didn't want to think about it so much, and instinctively chose to escape: "Junzuo, I'll lead the troops across the river first, let's think about those issues after this battle."

"Go ahead, you should think about it when it's over." Zhong Bin waved his hands indifferently, and a smart person would naturally know what to do after all he said.

He and the Yu family can be regarded as a faction. They support each other in order to achieve their goals.They knew how to preserve their strength and were typical representatives of bureaucrats and old soldiers of that era.

The goal of these people is to become a bigger official, how to preserve and strengthen their own strength!For these reasons, he can ignore the life and death of his neighbors, indulge in infighting between factions, sharpen his head and squeeze in when faced with opportunities, but he can slip away when faced with danger, without any morals at all.

……

At 11:29, Yu Xiaoqing crossed the Nujiang River with the third main force regiment and the reserve regiment. The arrival of this new force made the West Bank offensive troops breathe a sigh of relief.

Yu Xiaoqing encouraged the officers of the Yu division, especially when he saw He Shuguang who was covered in injuries, his eyes were red.

"Master seat! The students didn't embarrass you. Our department cooperated with the friendly army to successfully occupy the enemy's second defense position. Please give instructions!"

He Shuguang's gaze was like a torch, and he stood in front of Yu Xiaoqing like a javelin.In this battle, he also proved that he was no longer the one who talked on paper.

"Well, it's been hard work, let's take the second group down to rest."

"Yes!"

Yu Xiaoqing nodded, and straightened the wrinkled collar for him. War always makes people grow. Even He Shuguang, who was once childish, has become like a real iron-blooded soldier.

At the same time, the two troops on the front and the top of the mountain were gradually approaching the three defense positions of the Japanese army.Liao Mingyu personally came to the front line to direct the guard battalion and the fourth battalion to prepare for the final attack. Meng Fanle also received news from the top of the mountain that all the troops were in position and were waiting for the order of the general offensive.

The situation of encirclement was inevitable. The Japanese army shuttled around the position and arranged defenses to wait. Takeuchi Lianshan ordered to blow up all the main underground traffic roads, so as to prevent the enemy from using the tunnels to attack the interior.

They moved out all the remaining weapons, and even the wounded soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move were arranged in the trenches, and they were given a few grenades, just waiting for the Chinese to rush up and open the chain And die together.

"Takeuchi Lianshan! You can't escape in this situation, are you desperate? Oh, what a pity, your wife will be a widow at home."

In the tense atmosphere on the eve of the battle, Long Wenwen's humble shout came from the loudspeaker on the top of the mountain.

"How about this, Takeuchi, let me give you an idea. Let's all let our soldiers put down their guns. You and I will come out and have a fair duel face to face. If you win, I will retreat immediately. If you have no courage, surrender quickly. , although I lose face, I can save my life anyway."
