Chapter 451 The American Army Arrives
451
Zhang Dabing and Sun Jinan really didn't know how to do this. But with these things, they were more confident. However, Sun Jinan hesitated to speak.
Tang Yue frowned at his expression and said, "Just say what you want to say."
Sun Jinan looked at Tang Yue and said, "Company Commander, shouldn't we report and ask for permission before we use things from the chemical plant? We can't use even a single needle and thread from the common people."
Tang Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips. Is this kid stupid? "Sun Jinan, who are you fighting for? Do you think that chemical plant is still operating now? When the war started, those people ran away. Who knows where they are?
What? We're here to help them fight, so we have to bring everything with us, right?
Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing nodded, and when they saw Tang Yue's expression was not right, they quickly shook their heads. But Tang Yue's brows were already furrowed. Zhang Dabing's voice was very weak.
"We not only brought our own supplies, but also built important transportation facilities such as roads, railways, and bridges for the border country, as well as public facilities such as hospitals and schools."
Tang Yue felt that her breathing was uneven. Since China had already done so much, what was wrong with them using some things from Bian Yue?
This was the idea that Zhang Dabing and Sun Jinan had accepted for many years, but now they themselves felt that there was nothing wrong with using some things from the Bian Yue Kingdom.
"Captain, we'll listen to you."
Tang Yue didn't say anything, so Sun Jinan hurried out to see what was happening outside. He felt the air pressure in the room was very low, and if he stayed any longer, he wondered if the company commander would take action.
After a while, Sun Jinan returned with the county chief and others. Tang Yue saw that the county chief and several elders looked unhappy. "What's going on?"
The county magistrate was still restless. That bastard, Agui, had actually told the American army the layout of the county and the areas they defended daily. He had even conspired with the American army to abduct the five girls while they were not paying attention.
However, these are not the most infuriating things. It was not until today that the county magistrate found out that Agui had been in cahoots with the US military for a long time. The people who had died or disappeared in the county for no reason before were all caused by the US military.
The county magistrate felt ashamed. It was he who had failed to protect his people. He had risen from clan leader to current county magistrate, and despite his selfish motives, he had always hoped that Shanhe County would continue to improve.
However, today, the US military had openly announced that they would attack Shanhe County in three days. Although the county chief and the elders had already decided to fight the US military to the death, they were not yet ready after all because the goddess had just promised them.
Now suddenly it was announced that there would be a war in three days, and the county magistrate and his men could not accept it.
The county magistrate knelt on the ground, "Goddess, help me! The American army sent a message saying that they will attack Shanhe County in three days."
"Three days later? Why are we suddenly attacking you?"
Tang Yue felt a little strange. Hadn't everything been fine before? What had suddenly happened to the American army? Why did they suddenly think of attacking them?
The county magistrate hesitated, and the third elder couldn't wait any longer. "Goddess, I wonder if Agui told the American army about you. The American army wants us to hand you over. Otherwise, they will attack Shanhe County in three days."
Tang Yue raised the corner of her lips slightly, "They have quite good taste."
The few words that came out were so light that the people kneeling on the ground trembled with fear. This was a goddess, how could they dare to hand her over?
The county magistrate quickly stated, "Goddess, your servants have absolutely no intention of handing you over. Please give us some guidance."
Tang Yue said in a neutral voice, "This goddess is not a commodity, you can't negotiate with me. But since they want to see me, let's meet in three days." As she spoke, Tang Yue handed the paper she had prepared in advance to the county magistrate.
"Here are the methods for making the earthen rifle and the black grenade. Take them and find someone to make them immediately."
The county magistrate respectfully took it. He was about to say that they couldn't do it, but then he looked down and saw that the writing on the paper was really clear, without a single unclear point.
"Let my two guardians teach you how to train and manufacture weapons. How much you can make depends on your ability."
After everyone left, Tang Yue went out to the American battalion commander. The American army only had about 500 people, but they were well-equipped, including three tanks. Tang Yue was amazed. If this weren't on the battlefield, she would definitely put all these things away.
Wait, why can't she collect these things on the battlefield? Tang Yue laughed. If the US army didn't have these tanks, if they only used weapons to fight, these young and strong men would not necessarily lose, right?
Three days later in the morning, dark clouds covered the city, and the city walls of Shanhe County looked particularly solemn in the darkness.
The roar of American tanks approached from afar, raising clouds of dust. Over five hundred well-equipped American soldiers, wielding gleaming weapons, advanced arrogantly toward the county town. They paid no heed to the young men of Shanhe County, some even whistling, as if this wasn't a war at all, but simply a casual massacre of the Bianyue people by the American army.
At the front of the American army, several tanks slowly advanced. Tank commander Johnson shouted into the intercom, "Speed up! I don't want to waste too much time with these country bumpkins."
Meanwhile, the infantry commander, Smith, grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Johnson, don't underestimate the enemy. The last reconnaissance intelligence said there's a goddess here. Maybe she has some clues."
Johnson scoffed. "This goddess thing is nothing more than a trick. Smith, don't you believe in science? Once we've razed this place, even the goddess will surrender. But I heard this goddess isn't very old, and I'm not interested in children."
Their conversation fell clearly into Tang Yue's ears. Originally, Tang Yue just wanted to dampen the American army's spirit, but now, Johnson must die.
When the US troops were about 300 meters away from the gate of Shanhe County, they actually escorted the girl they had previously abducted to the front of the team. An American soldier who could speak Vietnamese raised a megaphone and shouted:
"Listen up, people of Shanhe County! If you don't want these girls to die, hand over the goddess immediately! Otherwise, we will kill them one by one right in front of you!"
When the young and strong men on the city wall saw this, they were outraged and veins bulged in their hands gripping their weapons.
Tang Yue was dressed in a white robe and a crown inlaid with jewels. She stood on the city wall, like a god descending to the earth.
Behind her, Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing were still wearing their colorful clothes. They held well-made pistols in their hands and stood guard on both sides of Tang Yue, watching the American soldiers' every move with vigilant eyes.
When the American soldiers escorted the abducted girls to the front of the team, the young men on the city wall were glaring with anger, and the people behind them were even more anxious.
Many of the children's parents clutched their homemade guns tightly, their knuckles white, tears welling in their eyes. "My daughter!"
A mother's piercing cries pierced the air, sending a wave of heartache through the crowd. They couldn't bear to watch their children become tools of threat from the US military, yet facing the menace of guns and tanks, they dared not act rashly and could only pray silently for their children's safety.
These abducted girls were already thin due to long-term imprisonment, and their weak bodies were shaking under the pushing of the American soldiers.
Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, but they still held on and dared not fall down, because they knew that once they fell down, there would be only one outcome: a "bang" that would completely end their lives.
After the US military's arrogant words, they found that Shanhe County was silent and did not surrender in a panic as they had expected.
Johnson suddenly became impatient and roared into the intercom: "What are you dawdling for! Go full speed ahead! I want to see what these cowards can do!"
Smith frowned and stopped Johnson. "Don't worry, Johnson. Something seems wrong. There's no way those people would let us get close so easily. There must be something fishy going on! There might be a mine up ahead!"
Johnson sneered, "Smith, when did you become such a coward? Are you going to be scared by a few tricks?"
The two were arguing, and Johnson suddenly remembered Agui and shouted, "Bring that Agui here!"
Ah Gui ran up to the two officers, bowing and nodding, his face full of flattering smiles, and bowed and saluted: "What are your orders, my two officers?"
