Chapter 110: Fierce Battle (Part 2)

  Gao Yang excitedly booked a ticket for the last flight to Seoul with Stock. He returned to his room, took out his phone and dialed Zheng Xiujing's number.

  The phone rang and was hung up immediately, and soon Zheng Xiujing's text message came over "Oppa, I'm recording a show." Gao Yang looked up at the time, and indeed this time point was when artists were busiest.

  Rubbed her brow, she quickly replied to Zheng Xiujing with a text message "I'll be in Seoul tonight!"

  Put away the phone, changed into a clean and refreshing outfit, only brought a mobile phone wallet to go downstairs and chatted with parents for a while. Stock went forward to report that the ticket had been booked, and it would take off in an hour.

  Mom looked at Gao Yang who was fidgeting and said with a smile "Don't disturb me watching TV, go quickly."

  Gaoyang smiled somewhat awkwardly and got up to change his shoes in the entrance hall. He turned back to look at his parents, who were still intently watching TV, and said loudly "I'm off! Going to see my daughter-in-law!"

  "Go on, go on." Mom said without looking back.

  Gao Yang left the villa and took a car to the airport. Stoke was left in Hong Kong by Gao Yang to take care of his parents.

  Kao Yang went on a happy date, while in 1925 the Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division, General Weiks, was beset by perplexity.

  The reconnaissance troops on the front line reported that the Fujian Army had completely abandoned its outer positions and all troops had withdrawn into Ningde City.

  The experienced Chief of Staff Wekes couldn't fathom what the opposing commander was thinking! Abandoning advantageous terrain and withdrawing all troops into the city? What kind of tactic is this? Isn't this self-imposed doom? Is there some sort of conspiracy?

  Intelligent people generally think things through in detail, and with a bit of effort, Wekes had already come up with several tactical deployments for General Sun. It's just that thinking this way is something only a novice fool would do.

  "What's your opinion?" Weks asked Brant in a low voice, his head still throbbing.

  "I also find this matter strange, according to intelligence the commander of the other side is a general with very rich combat experience. In theory, he should not make such low-level mistakes. Our army has strong artillery and the enemy cannot be unaware of it! Under such circumstances, they actually concentrated their troops in a small city?" Brandt said, tapping his desk.

  "Well, what's your idea?" Wekes asked further.

  "I think that no matter what the enemy is going to do, our army, which has an absolute advantage in all aspects, should act in the most beneficial way for ourselves. Since the enemy has retreated into the city, we will first occupy the outside of the city and surround them completely before doing anything else!" Brant said firmly.

  "Good! I agree with that opinion too! Now that we have the upper hand, let's surround and annihilate them!" Weks said with a serious face, punching his fist on the map.

  At this time, commanding the battle inside Ningde City was Commander Sun's chief of staff, who had proposed bringing all troops into the city.

  "Damn it, Sun Xianyuan! You're so fast with your long legs, leaving me here to wait for death! You bastard. I'll see where you can run to!" The Chief of Staff gnashed his teeth and cursed his commander.

  At this time, Commander Sun was rushing towards Fuzhou on horseback. Commander Sun, who joined the army at the age of 17 and studied in a Japanese military school for seven years, had already seen that his troops were unable to withstand the attack of the Sixth Division before dinner!

  The cold-tempered Commander Sun was determined to exhaust his own troops and take a big bite out of the Sixth Division! After abandoning all his troops, Commander Sun planned to rush back to Fuzhou and then disguise himself and sneak into Hong Kong. Afterwards, he would either head north or enter Guangdong, in any case, he must find an opportunity to avenge his grievances!

  General Sun met the artillery troops of the Second Division halfway and ordered them to fire all shells into Ningde as soon as they entered the firing range near Ningde, then destroy the cannons and return to Fuzhou.

  The officers and men of the Sixth Division's front line, who were still having dinner, received the order to quickly advance and surround Ningde City. In a short half an hour, they hastily boarded their vehicles and surrounded Ningde City, making it impossible for water to leak out!

  The Wehrmacht planned a quick battle, first using powerful firepower to destroy the city, and then launching an infantry attack to eliminate the enemy forces in the encirclement. Occupy Ningde City, clearing the last obstacle for the southward march to Fuzhou.

  The order to shell Ningde City was passed down to the artillery unit. Several commanders were shocked and discolored. After a hasty debate, several people rushed to the command center.

  "Huh? How did you get here?" Vecks raised his wrist to check the time and said sternly, "The bombardment time has passed! Why didn't you go command the artillery to fire, but instead ran here to do what!"

  "Sir! We cannot carry out the artillery order you have given!" said one of the officers, stepping forward and saluting.

  "Hmm? Tell me a reasonable reason!" Vecks and Brant exchanged a glance before asking in a low voice, "If there's no special reason, then you're disobeying military orders!"

  "Sir, you ordered us to shell Ningde City. But there are still many ordinary civilians in the city! We can't fire on our own people!" The artillery officer said loudly.

  Weicks' face stiffened. Beside him, Brant spoke up, "Ningde City is an enemy city, and the civilians are also enemy civilians, why can't we open fire?" As veterans who had participated in the European War, destroying enemy cities in enemy-controlled areas was a matter of course for Weicks and Brant. How did these officers regard them as their own people?

  "The city is full of our compatriots! Not some enemy!" the officer shouted loudly.

  At this time, many young officers who received the news came to the command post. They all thought that Ningde City could not be bombarded with heavy artillery!

  Vicks looked at the crowded officers in front of him, his face frosty, and shouted loudly "What are you doing? Why have you all abandoned your posts! All of you get back!"

  "Sir, we can withdraw, but the order to fire cannot be executed! I request to report personally to the division commander!" Zhang Xinghai stepped forward and said loudly as he followed the second battalion back to the rear for rest.

  Vicks' face was already very unsightly. As a commander, he was questioned by his subordinates about his orders! When Vicks served in the German army, such things almost never happened!

  At this moment, he suddenly realized. Although he was the chief of staff, in the eyes of these military officers, he was still just a foreigner! If this order were given by Gao Yang, would these officers disobey?

  The senior officer's strong sense of self-esteem made Vecks feel extremely uncomfortable. His chest heaved violently, his face darkening as he rebuked, "The commander entrusted me with full authority over combat operations before leaving! I don't need to explain my battle plan to you! What you need to do is obey orders! Remember! You are soldiers!"

  Zhang Xinghai stood up straight and saluted, saying in a deep voice: "Comrade Commander, we are soldiers, but we are also Chinese! We cannot accept the order to open fire on our own compatriots!" He paused for a moment before continuing: "Comrade Commander, I request that you verify the order with the highest commanding officer!"

  The officers standing beside him shouted in unison: "We request that the Supreme Commander verify the order!"

  Vicks clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table. "You bunch of bastards!!!"

  Kao Yang's rest room was inside the command post, just over a hundred meters from the combat room. Weks and Borante walked in front, followed by a large group of officers who brushed their shoulders. The news spread further and more frontline officers joined the team after receiving the news during this short period of time.

  Most of them were young officers dispatched from military academies. In the eyes of these young officers, tactics that destroy cities on a large scale are absolutely not to be used in their own country!

  Buland's face was even uglier than Wekes! His gloomy face looked like it had been brushed with a layer of soot. He himself had never taught them to disobey military orders in the academy! In his heart, military honor was above all else!

  A large group of officers arrived outside Gao Yang's rest room. The guards at the door were shocked to see so many officers rushing over! What are they going to do? Are they planning a mutiny?

  The original guards of Gao Yang were all biochemical warriors, but after the large-scale expansion of the army, they were all sent to the troops to control the troops. Gao Yang did not understand biochemical warriors at all, let alone trust them! All were handed over to him from the beginning. However, before a better way is found, he can only use them for now. But in terms of close protection, Gao Yang believes more in natural people!

  The current guards are all selected from the soldiers of the original security team, and they enjoy various preferential treatments. They are loyal to Gao Yang!

  The guards lowered their rifle muzzles. The captain of the guard shouted "Halt!"

  Vicks and the officers stood up in unison, a sea of black. The captain of the guard swallowed his saliva and shouted loudly "Do not approach!"

  Wei Ke composed himself and said loudly, "I want to see the commander!"

  "The commander had given orders before, no one is allowed to see anyone during rest time!" The captain said in a deep voice.

  "I am Chief of Staff Weygand! I have urgent military business to report immediately to the Commander-in-Chief!" Weygand said with a gloomy face.

  "Captain shouted loudly: 'Sir! My orders are that no one is to disturb the general's rest! No one is allowed to approach without the general's permission!'"

  Zhang Zhonglin, standing in the crowd, said "You just need to report to the commander-in-chief and he will definitely see us!"

  The captain of the guard shook his head and said nothing.

  "What's going on here? So many officers are here. The Chief of Staff is also here! You just need to go in and report, what can't be done!" Zhang Xinghai's words were laced with a hint of anger.

  "We are the guards of the commander, and we only obey the commander's orders! No one is allowed to approach the commander's rest room. If anyone disobeys, don't blame us for being impolite!" The captain of the guard squad suddenly raised his hand, "Rattle rattle." A sound of guns being cocked echoed.

  Looking at the black muzzles of the guards' guns and their serious eyes, everyone below Wecks suddenly fell silent! The officers who had been relying on their passion to rush forward suddenly came to their senses! What they were doing now was so similar to those who usurped the throne and rebelled in the play.

  Those officers who can take the military academy exam are not fools! After realizing this, they all fell silent. Wondering in their hearts, with such a big commotion, why hasn't the high-ranking military officer come out to take a look? A strange atmosphere gradually rose up.

  Vicks looked at the front and saw the serious-looking guards, lightly sighed and turned around saying "Everyone go back!"
