On the east bank, Clauber looked at the fog that had dissipated over the Nantianmen Gate and began to fire his own shells. One after another, the "I'm Hungry" shells were accurately fired into the second and third lines of defense of the Nantianmen Gate.
At this time, Yu Xiaoqing, who was watching the artillery shells being fired across the river, received news that the west wing of the Nujiang River had already engaged the enemy. Although there was no news coming in, the momentum was intense. He quickly ordered the artillery group to shift its target to the second echelon led by A Yi. He looked at Li Bing, who came to deliver the news, and pointed the pointer in his hand at his nose.
"Are you happy being Tang Ji's messenger? I know what you're going to do. If you really regret it now, you should tell me where Tang Ji is hiding under his pants!"
"Master..."
Yu Xiaoqing was not the type to dawdle, and had no time to bother with him. Without even turning his head, he walked as there was no car. However, before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by Tang Ji who had come rushing over. A car stopped diagonally not far from where Yu Xiaoqing had to pass. Tang Ji trotted over and took the initiative.
"What are you doing?! What on earth are you doing? Nephew Yu, my nephew Yu! I'm fixing leaks everywhere, and you're causing trouble everywhere. What on earth do you want to do? I've watched you grow up, and now you have long legs. Are you going to tire an old man like me, with my short legs, to death?"
Tang Ji was indeed sweating profusely. Yu Xiaoqing looked at him, still holding his gun in his hand, tightly gripping it as if he was going to break it.
"Your legs aren't short, and your arms are long. It took me two years, and you took less than an hour to dismantle them all. Someone told me this, but I didn't believe it. Now I really do! That's why I want to ask you, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Demolish? Where did this word 'demolition' come from? From your Yu family to your Master Yu, my hair has turned white. When has I, Tang, ever used the word 'demolition' to deal with your Yu family?!"
Tang Ji's voice was filled with a hint of grievance. He reached out and took off his hat, revealing his white hair so that Yu Xiaoqing could take a good look. He was not lying. He really had just returned from the military. He was so anxious because he wanted his nephew Yu not to send him to the west bank to die.
Yu Xiaoqing looked at Tang Ji and shifted his gaze. For some reason, his tone was inexplicably filled with anger and a hint of grievance. He asked,
"where have you been?"
Tang Ji glanced at him and slapped his face.
"Military Headquarters, call! Disobeying orders is a serious matter. I have to say this. You guys with the surname Yu always love to cause trouble. When has it not been me who has risked my reputation and my old arms and legs to beg for mercy? You've made a mistake, and the military can't ignore it. I have to go and explain it to them!"
Yu Xiaoqing turned his back, straightened himself up, and looked at the South Heaven Gate.
"There's no need to beg for help. The fog has cleared. It's too late to say anything now. I didn't kill you because it would be useless. I've already killed all my father's sons. I don't want to kill his only friend."
Yu Xiaoqing put the Colt in his hand back into the holster, not wanting to say anything more here. He himself was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, so he raised his leg and was about to leave.
But Tang Ji stopped him here specifically to prevent him from doing that thing, so there was no way he would let him go.
When Yu Xiaoqing left, Tang Ji chased after him, shouting,
"Do you really want to see the blisters on my feet?!"
Yu Xiaoqing suddenly turned his head and looked at him.
"You don't have to follow me anymore. I can't get into any trouble. The fog is about to clear. Are you happy?"
"I'm happy, but what should I be happy about? Nephew Yu, you're almost forty, why do you keep saying such inappropriate things?"
Yu Xiaoqing was furious when he saw his uncle Tang who was always right in what he said. However, he also knew that when it came to talking skills, his uncle Tang was ten times better than him.
"What do you want to hear from me? What else can I say? As soon as you, Deputy Division Commander Tang, give the order, I, the division commander, immediately become a commander without troops. Who will listen to me? The people I care about most are now on the other side and are about to die. I can't help them, but at least I can rush up and die with them!"
After Yu Xiaoqing finished speaking, he wanted to leave. He walked too fast and Tang Ji could not catch up with him. He had no choice but to shout after him. Just one sentence made Yu Da Shao turn around again.
"Go! Go ahead! What's the point of you dying? What's the point of a hundred or a thousand of you dying? Don't you want to fight anymore?"
Yu Xiaoqing turned his head with such force that he almost broke his neck. Looking at Tang Ji, who was panting in front of him,
"I do! I dream about it! Do you think I've been playing house in Nujiang for the past two years?"
Tang Ji spoke slowly while panting, approaching his nephew Yu and holding his shoulder.
"This high-powered reconnaissance was a risky and surprising tactic, and the higher-ups praised it greatly. Jun Zuo even called you the Patton of the East. Jun Zuo also said that the mountains along the Yunnan border are incomparable to the deserts of North Africa. Sooner or later, we have to have this battle, to show them that we are not incapable of fighting. With a high-powered reconnaissance, we penetrated directly into the enemy's heartland. Commander Yu played a huge role in this battle!"
Yu Xiaoqing was a little confused when he heard this at first. He didn't understand what it meant. What reconnaissance? He just looked at Tang Ji's smiling eyes, and suddenly his eyes widened and looked at him, and the red bloodshot in his eyes appeared again.
"This is called fire reconnaissance. The Yu Division is the vanguard, and the two divisions are the rearguard. I've sent out an entire regiment. This is called fire reconnaissance?!"
Tang Ji patted his nephew Yu's chest, squinting his eyes at him, and turned slightly to look at the Nantianmen where the fog had dissipated.
