After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Chapter 648: Beiyue Army withdraws from the eight provincial capitals and behaves modestly

After listening to Qin Feng's words, the officers present suddenly understood.

As expected of the commander-in-chief, he made clear their current situation in just a few words.

It's true that these people are being too picky.

After all, when the Guangxi army marched south, their target was never the small place of Yuenan.

Although he said that, the officer named Li beside Qin Feng still had some concerns in his heart.

"Commander-in-Chief, but will the Beiyue Army really be willing to voluntarily withdraw from our territory?"

"If they pretend to evacuate, then we..."

......

"This land has belonged to us Yuenan since ancient times!"

"Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers all lived on this land. Now, just because of a word from the commander-in-chief of his expeditionary force, we have to evacuate?"

"They don't even consider us as human beings. They are even using the excuse of expelling the Tartars. They are just treating our Beiyue Army like fools!"

"Anyway, I don't admit it!"

An officer of the Beiyue Army was the first to speak with a glaring look on his face.

At the Beiyue Army Command, a high-level meeting is in full swing.

As expected, his words were immediately agreed by many people, the first of whom was the gloomy-faced officer next to him.

"I agree. We can discuss other things, but we can never compromise on this matter!"

"I still say the same thing. If all else fails, then we can go to war. We can fight the Gauls back and forth. They have an expeditionary force, so what are we afraid of?"

"Although hundreds of thousands of troops are a force that cannot be underestimated no matter where they are, we are not cowards!"

"What's more, there are so many Yuenan people supporting us!"

The old general who was highly respected in the army also said calmly: "Commander-in-chief, there is no way to back down on this issue!"

"And even if we agree, our subordinates won't agree!"

"If we retreat today, what about tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow? Will the Beiyue Army still have a foothold in Beiyue?"

“This land holds our family, our friends, and so many of our memories!”

"Our homeland has been protected by countless martyrs. We have no reason or right to give in to their expeditionary force!"

"Don't you think this is the truth?"

As the old general spoke these passionate words, the officers present suddenly felt like a flame ignited in their hearts.

They echoed and shouted loudly!

Looking at the scene in front of him, the commander on the side said helplessly: "Everyone stop arguing!"

"I understand what you said. I think the same way!"

"But now our strength is limited. For the sake of the overall situation, we have to keep a low profile!"

"When the Xia army first defected and headed south, they came all the way to our Yuenan under the pretext of fighting the invaders!"

"After all, a similar thing happened in Xia Country a long time ago!"

"So we took it for granted at the beginning, thinking that the purpose of their expeditionary force was to encircle and annihilate these Gaul troops and help our Yuenan return to its original state."

"But who would have thought that we would have let the wolf into the house and sought the skin of the tiger!"

"After wiping out the Gaul army, they even want to replace us. This is simply unreasonable!"

"In order to justify their actions, they continue to stay in Yuenan. Now they are even using the name of expelling the Tartars as if they are the legitimate army of this land!"

"Especially the commander-in-chief of their expeditionary force, who is simply stubborn and unreasonable, just like those people in the West who are waving the banner of imperialism!"

If he could say these words in front of Qin Feng, he might even praise Commander Yue Nan as a manly man, but obviously there is no chance!

Hearing the commander's words, Commander-in-Chief Bei Yue at the side couldn't help but echo him.

"The commander-in-chief is right!"

"Although the supreme commander of this expeditionary force has many frictions with us!"

"But we have to admit that whether he is deploying troops or commanding, he is beyond the reach of our Beiyue Army!"

"We do have someone who can lead seven battles in a row, but I'm afraid we can't find one in the entire Beiyue who can win every battle and keep casualties to a minimum!"

"At the same time, this person is meticulous and not arrogant. After taking seven provincial capitals in a row, he did not relax his vigilance, but made full preparations to meet the enemy's decapitation plan!"

"The troops did not suffer any loss at all, and on the contrary, they destroyed the Gaul army's biggest trump card in Yue in Liangshan Province!"

"Then, we will take advantage of the lack of troops in Xuanguang Province and attack the Gallic army's lair directly, and capture it without any suspense!"

Speaking of this, the commander of the Beiyue Army had a look of disappointment on his face.

The reason why he told these stories was not to praise the expeditionary force, nor to praise Qin Feng, but to make these good-for-nothings under his command open their eyes and see the gap!

He looked around, then turned his gaze to the commander of the 302nd Division who had shouted the loudest just now, and spoke sternly.

"Isn't your 302nd Division very powerful?"

"I asked you to encircle and suppress the Gaul army in Liangshan Province. What happened?"

"We fought for more than ten hours and let them hold out until reinforcements arrived. In the end, didn't you, Division Commander Lu, run away with your remaining troops in disgrace, with your tail between your legs?"

"How dare you compete with them? In the same amount of time, or even less, they have already annihilated the Gaul army and recaptured Liangshan Province!"

Looking at the commander of the 315th Division who was gloating on the side, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyue Army glared at him fiercely and pointed at the two officers beside them.

"He said he didn't say you guys, right?"

"You two and the 315th Division, these three troops have spent several months but have not been able to capture Xuanguang Province. Instead, they were forced to retreat step by step by the Gaul army!"

"It's so shameful! It's a disgrace to me!"

At this point, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyue Army became more and more angry. They both had one head and two legs, and the difference in weapons could be made up, but how could the difference in IQ be made up?

The commander-in-chief of the Beiyue Army specifically mentioned the commander of the 312th Division in front of him and spoke earnestly.

"And some of you who want to emulate Xia Nation's tactics should study them thoroughly before going!"

"We fought against Taiyuan Province and the Gauls, but in the end, everyone came back with nothing. Not only did we not use our tactics, but we were also surrounded by the Gauls!"

At this point, the Beiyue Army Commander-in-Chief's mouth became dry.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a swig, and then continued speaking.

"Fortunately, the Gauls did not dare to enter the jungle rashly, otherwise, would you still be sitting here?"

"You all talk about your ambitions, but don't I know what your strength is?"

"There is someone who is more arrogant and domineering than you, and that's right here." The commander-in-chief of the Beiyue Army pointed at Wu Lin, who was looking a little listless.

"But you see, he no longer has the arrogance he had before. After being taught a lesson by the expeditionary army, he now sees the strength of both sides clearly!"

"Wu Lin, tell them what happened, so they won't think I'm exaggerating."

Originally Wu Lin was just sitting in the corner, but after hearing what his commander-in-chief said, he just stood up tremblingly.

He swallowed and recalled everything that had just happened.

"Before I saw the true strength of this expeditionary force today, I thought they only relied on luck and took advantage of the Gaul army's lack of preparedness to capture the seven provincial capitals."

"Even when I held the public trial today, I still believed that they were just a group of troops who defected from Xia Country and were not very powerful."

“But after I actually saw this army with my own eyes, my opinion changed completely!”

"Any of their troops is hundreds of times stronger than ours, in terms of weapons, equipment, firepower, morale and discipline!"

"If you had seen this expeditionary force with your own eyes, or even in combat, you would know why the commander said so!"

"With our strength, we are no match for a hexagonal army like this!"

"In my opinion, it is most reasonable for the Gaul army to be defeated by this expeditionary force!"

"Our weapons are all mixed up and varied. If there is one thing they all have in common, it's that they are all junk!"

"But this expeditionary force is different. At the public trial today, although I didn't see clearly what guns they were holding!"

"But I am sure that their entire army is equipped with standard weapons!"

"There is absolutely no comparison. Our guns are worse than theirs, let alone other weapons!"

"One step short each time, one step short each time, the gap will only get bigger and bigger in the future!"

"After I came back, I sent someone to inquire about it. They even had 107mm rocket launchers in their expeditionary force!"

"This 107mm rocket launcher is comparable to the Katyusha rocket launcher..."

Wu Lin's words were like a needle, piercing directly into their flesh and blood.

Let them feel like a thorn in their throat.

Having said so much, there is simply no one thing that can compare to their expeditionary force.

It's good to keep your tail between your legs if you can't match others in strength. It's better than dying!

After all, there is an old saying in the Xia Kingdom that goes, "As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood." There is also an old saying that goes, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"

......

At dawn the next day, the Beiyue Army evacuated the eight provincial capitals with the weapons and food that Qin Feng had promised to provide.

At this time, Bai Chongxi and Qin Feng were still in the command center making deductions for subsequent actions.

Bai Chongxi: "Commander-in-Chief, do you think the Beiyue Army is really willing to accept this?"

"What if we are fighting the Gauls and they use the weapons and food we have given them to gather their strength and intervene? Wouldn't that be more harm than good?"

Hearing Bai Chongxi's concerns, Qin Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

“If they want to be the one picking the peaches, they have to get our consent!”

Seeing Qin Feng's confident look, Bai Chongxi stopped asking questions.

In his opinion, for someone in a high position like Qin Feng, he must think much longer-term than his subordinates!

Thinking of this, Bai Chongxi no longer worried about these things, but focused on the things at hand and continued to deduce.

The Gallic army's comeback is definitely not a trivial matter for them, but is closely related to every member of their army.

He currently doesn't know what Qin Feng is thinking. If he really relies on their Gui clique troops, it would still be a bit risky.

If Qin Feng could mobilize the new first front army in Xia State, then this catastrophe for them would be completely insignificant.

But now the Curry Country and the Bear Country are exerting pressure again, and the New Front Army is already overwhelmed and may find it difficult to escape.

If we are taken advantage of by Russia or other countries again, the loss will outweigh the gain!

Thinking of this, Bai Chongxi's brows couldn't help but frown again, and he sighed silently.

If the commander-in-chief could find a way to break the impasse, then the Guangxi clique's hundreds of thousands of troops would be able to withstand the battle.

After that, the signboard of expelling the Tartars above their expeditionary force will become brighter and brighter.

By then, they will be able to truly gain a foothold in Yuenan, and at the same time, the people of Yuenan will love and respect their expeditionary force from the bottom of their hearts!

It also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent dispatch of troops to South Asian countries!

......

Southern Front Battlefield.

At this time, Kong Jie was sitting in the command center. Looking at Li Yunlong in front of him, he spoke helplessly.

"Old Li, what's the matter?"

"So mysterious?"

The reason why he was on the southern battlefield instead of the Mombasa-Nairobi battlefield is a long story.

They had assembled their troops and were ready to set off, but then Chief of Staff Wang issued a transfer order, sending Blind Cheng to the Mombasa battlefield.

He was brought to the southern battlefield, where he and Lao Li, two people who were enemies, came together again.

If he were to ask him, the battlefield on the southern front only involves one unit from Curry Country, so is it necessary for them to mobilize the forces of three entire armies?

Moreover, after such a long journey, he had just arrived at the southern battlefield and had not had time to rest when he was mysteriously called to the headquarters by Old Li.

"Kong Erlangzi, keep your voice down, this is a military secret!" Hearing Kong Jie's loud voice, Li Yunlong on the side reached out and slapped him.

"What military secrets?"

Upon hearing that there was a military secret, Kong Jie didn't care about Li Yunlong's clumsy movements and asked back subconsciously.

"Do you know about the Guangxi troops' march south?" Seeing Kong Jie's aroused appetite, Li Yunlong spoke directly.

"cut!"

“Who doesn’t know this?”

This incident had a significant impact on the Xia Kingdom. As a commander, how could I not have heard any news about it?

I thought Li Yunlong was a dog and could spit out some ivory, but in the end I overestimated him, Kong Jie said with a sneer.

"Li Yunlong, although I am not as well-informed as you, I can still receive this little information, right?"

Looking at Kong Jie's arrogant look, Li Yunlong was not annoyed, he continued speaking.

"The next thing I want to tell you is the military secrets!"
