Chapter 303 Tuhachi

Ever since they learned that Beiba City had been captured by the Chinese anti-government armed force "Chinese Front", the defenders in Sike County have been worried, fearing that the "Chinese Front"'s next target would be Sike.

The army even wanted to evacuate for a while, but when it heard that the Third Division was coming to destroy the "Chinese Formation", it barely stabilized its morale.

But Songti, who is the army chief of Xike County, doesn't think so. The geographical location of Xike County is the easiest target for the "Chinese Formation".

Whether he can hold on until the arrival of the third division remains to be seen.

Especially since his cousin, who is a high-ranking military official, had just called and secretly asked him to prepare to evacuate. It seemed that this encirclement and suppression was not as simple as imagined.

...

In the military vehicle driving to Xike County, Li Qing stared at the map of Xike County in his hand. The map had been redrawn by Gao Jin, and the terrain on it and the location of the defenders were clearly displayed.

The Xike County Army has been stationed in the southwest camp, forming a pincer-like angle with the naval base in the southeast, as if waiting for the "Chinese Formation" to fall into its trap.

Li Qing had already expected this situation. After all, he was a regular army of the Java Kingdom, and he still had the minimum military quality.

A frontal attack is not a good option.

Li Qing looked at the coast. The terrain on the coast was complicated and it would take a lot of time to go around it.

Li Qing shook his head slightly. The situation in Xike County was much more complicated than he imagined.

Gao Jin, who was next to him, looked at the map carefully and said, "Brother, if it doesn't work out, I will lead my men to pretend to attack the army barracks, and you will lead my men to ambush the navy reinforcements?"

Gao Jin gritted his teeth and said, he knew that this method of warfare was crude, but the current situation could not delay it.

Li Qing shook his head, "No, the terrain of Xike County is high in the west and low in the east, and the terrain is flat, which is not suitable for an ambush."

Li Qing looked at the map carefully and rejected Gao Jin's suggestion.

"We still have to start with the naval base."

Li Qing said solemnly.

What he is considering now is to quickly capture Xike County at the minimum cost, and wait until Tian Yangsheng arrives to build Xike County into the first line of defense against the Third Division.

"We can still fight for the naval base commander Tuhachi. According to the original plan, we can talk to him while he is dating his lover."

Li Qing chuckled softly.

...

At the naval base, Tuhachi had a sad face. Everyone could see clearly that the situation in Xike County was at the forefront.

He has repeatedly requested the navy to temporarily withdraw from Xike County, but has been rejected by military bosses.

Obviously the military bosses put themselves here as targets. Alas, there is no way that as a member of the Jugang tribe, they are at a disadvantage among the military factions.

His status is higher than that of the Chinese, but it is also limited. He has always been blamed.

If Sike County falls this time, he will definitely be responsible for it. As for Songti on the army side, he has someone at the top of the military. Not to mention losing Sike, even if all his soldiers are dead, it will be fine.

Today happens to be Saturday, and Tuhaci must persuade his lover Ai Li to leave Sik as soon as possible. He doesn't know what changes will happen if it's too late.

Tuhachi drove a military vehicle out of the naval base as usual, bought a bouquet of roses from the flower shop, and rushed to Ellie's house.

When he thought of Ellie, his heart felt warm.

Ellie is also a member of the Jugang tribe, and she and Tuhachi are childhood sweethearts. However, his Javanese wife is just a decoration, and he married her just to express his position.

He went downstairs to Aili without stopping, took out the key as usual, and opened the door to Aili's apartment.

A familiar scent appeared in the kitchen, and he knew that Ellie had prepared a meal and was waiting for him.

"Honey, I'm back."

Tuhachi put the flowers on the table, took off his military uniform and hung it on the hanger.

He walked into the restaurant with a smile and flowers, but the person sitting at the table eating turmeric rice was obviously not Ellie.

"Who are you?"

Tuhachi's face changed drastically, and he immediately took out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at the man at the table.

"Ellie!"

He saw Ellie standing by the kitchen and shouted in concern.

"Tuhaci!"

Ellie is worried about him too.

At this time, several people rushed out from behind Tuhachi, with guns in their hands pressed against the back of his head.

The cold barrel of the gun on the back of his head calmed him down.

Li Qing looked up at Tuhachi and continued to eat the food on the plate.

The whole room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of Li Qing chewing food.

After a while, he dropped the spoon on the plate with a clear "ding" sound, picked up the white handkerchief at hand, wiped his mouth, and said slowly: "Although I have been in Java for many days, I am still not used to Javanese food. Especially this coconut curry chicken!”

Originally, turmeric rice was eaten with hands, but Li Qing couldn't bear it, so he just used a spoon.

"However, Miss Ellie, the turmeric rice you made is barely edible. Thank you for your hospitality."

Li Qing politely nodded his thanks to Ellie not far away.

As for the coconut curry chicken next to it that was in good condition, he didn't touch it at all.

"Mr. Tuhaci, please sit down!" Li Qing pointed to the chair.

Tuhachi felt the barrel of the gun behind his head push him forward, "My general doesn't like you standing!"

Tuhachi glanced at Li Qing, pulled out the chair, sat down slowly, and put the pistol on the table.

"Who are you? You broke into my house suddenly and ate my dinner. Isn't this... inappropriate?"

"I am the leader of the 'Hua Formation', you can call me Mr. Li!"

Li Qing took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lighting it with the fire Gao Jin handed him.

Tuhachi's eyes narrowed.

"Chinese Freedom Front", he thought the other party would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Especially he didn't expect the other party to be so bold that he dared to enter Xike County with just a few people.

"General Li! I've heard a lot about you~"

Tuhachi calmed down after a while and greeted Li Qing.

"Let's not beat around the bush, I'm sure you know the purpose of my coming, I will definitely take Xike County."

Tuhachi was also very tactful, "General Li, just tell me what you need me to do, I only have one request, let Ai Li go."

Li Qing looked at Tuhachi, then at Ai Li, and his mind moved, as if he heard it.

I didn't notice it just now, this Ai Li actually has two heartbeats.

"Okay, straightforward! I only have one request, surrender to me! Ai Li will be fine."

"Impossible!"

Tuhachi's face changed, "Chinese Front" is an anti-government armed force, once he joined, he would be hunted down by Java for the rest of his life.

Even his own ethnic group would be implicated.

The most important point is that he does not think that the "Chinese Array" will win in the end, and Java will definitely settle accounts with these people in the future.

"I'm sorry, both of you will die!" Li Qing said with a smile.

Tuhachi's face was calm, and it didn't matter if he died, at least Java would not vent its anger on its own tribe.

After hearing this, Ai Li burst into tears and shook her head at Tuhachi.
