Chapter 70 Hostage Taking
Instead, Zhou Xiaoshan heard Yan Xishan's voice introducing himself from afar, and was so surprised that he ran over happily.
It was a standard military salute to the car.
"Hello, Commander Yan. My battalion is under the order of Commander Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army to go to the 29th Army in Beiping to visit the anti-Japanese troops and escort a batch of arms to support the troops fighting the war . Entrusted by Commander Liu, we are passing through Taiyuan to say hello to Commander Yan. This is a handwritten letter from our Commander Liu to you!"
"You're going to deliver the letter like that? With a gun pointed at my head?"
There is an arsenal in Taiyuan City testing guns, so gunshots are no big deal in Taiyuan.
His guards were careless.
Yan Xishan almost died of anger. Just a moment ago, his mind was full of imagination. He thought it was some bandits pretending to be regular soldiers, and that the Central Army or Han Fuju and Feng Yuxiang were going to attack Shanxi. He never expected that the ones who opened fire were the Sichuan Army, which was not related at all.
Why don’t you just stay in Sichuan and run away to Taiyuan to act wild?
"Commander Yan, you asked for this. I went to visit you at your residence and was planning to authorize you to sell the glass products of the Hundred Battles Army in Shanxi, Pingjin and North China, but you insisted that we advance the goods and sell on credit. I refused, and then you said we were communists. Your guard brigade wants to seize our vehicles and soldiers. I have sent a telegram to our Marshal, and he will send a telegram to the whole country tonight, so that the people of the whole country can judge and know how Commander Yan Xishan does business in Taiyuan City!"
These words were even more infuriating, and Yan Xishan was so angry that his eyes popped out!
My people don’t follow the rules when doing business?
That damn bastard has ruined the reputation of us Shanxi people!
How can we do business if this matter gets out?
"Bullshit, I have such a big military factory in Taiyuan, how can I be interested in the munitions produced by Liu Xiang's broken factory to support the war of resistance?"
"Just because you don't like it doesn't mean your subordinates don't like it!"
"You are insulting the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"
"Since Commander Yan is as unreasonable as your adjutant, we have nothing to say. I have only one worthless life left, so I will drag Commander Yan down with me to die. It's worth it!"
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Zhou Xiaoshan tilted his neck!
Zhang Zhenhe and a few others wanted to drag Yan Xishan out of the car, which scared Yan Xishan!
This is not the Sichuan Army at all, they have the style of bandits and are just helping desperate criminals.
If you don't agree on the conversation, then start fighting!
Does your Marshal Liu Xiang know that he has such a bad temper?
"Do you know that if you attack me, you will be sentenced to death even if you return to Sichuan? This is the rule of the Nationalist Government!"
"You can die, at least you have your commander Yan accompanying you to find your fellow Yan Luo Wang, so you won't be lonely, right?"
The King of Hell is your cousin. Who told you that the King of Hell’s surname is Yan?
Commander Yan, who rolled his eyes, finally understood what it meant to be a scholar meeting a soldier. He couldn't explain himself clearly. If he really perished together with these Sichuan soldiers just for a few small amounts of money, he would be laughed to death by the princes of the whole country.
"Give me some time to investigate and understand the situation. If this is indeed the case, I will forgive you!"
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Commander Yan has weathered all the storms and waves.
I heard gunshots at the city gate just now and thought the security brigade was training or conducting experiments in the arsenal.
I didn't expect that I would capsize in the gutter. This guy didn't play by the rules at all.
"We don't trust Commander Yan and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The death of all our battalion members is a small matter. The supplies were not delivered to Peking. The Sichuan Army has military law. Even suicide cannot be used to pay for the crime. So, we won't force you to get off the car. Please stay in the car and take us out of Shanxi!"
Yan Xishan watched in amazement as Zhou Xiaoshan opened the driver's door with one hand and pulled out the driver with an injured arm!
What kind of soldier is this? He doesn't even know how to write the word death.
How did they know that I would settle the score in the autumn harvest? I was just planning to stabilize these soldiers first, and then teach these hundreds of soldiers a lesson after I escaped!
"Go to the direction of Niangzi Pass! Commander Yan's guards can follow, but they must stay 200 meters away. Go and confiscate their weapons and warn them that if they dare to get closer than 200 meters, we will immediately aim and shoot them. At worst, both of us will perish together!"
After saying this viciously, Zhou Xiaoshan asked a soldier to get into Yan Xishan's car, and he got in himself, then ordered the convoy to drive.
In fact, Zhou Xiaoshan's original plan was to go towards Datong and Zhangjiakou .
Deputy Director Li Yong has the same military rank as Chu Tianshu, both are lieutenant colonel, but this time he will be under the command of this major.
Watching the convoy heading towards Niangzi Pass, the two were filled with worry.
"Captain Chu, should we go to the front and tell Xiaoshan to release Commander Yan?"
"It's useless. Zhou Xiaoshan won't listen to me about this. On the surface, this guy respects you and me, but this is when there is no fighting. As soon as the gunshots sound, he becomes a different person, unyielding and arbitrary!"
"How about asking Qin Lie to send a telegram to the division commander or Marshal Liu?"
"Zhou Xiaoshan will definitely send it. Let's wait for a while. This guy has threatened Commander Yan. Maybe he has stopped the car. We can't mess up his routine. Even if we release Yan Xishan now, can you guarantee that Yan Xishan will let us out of Shanxi?"
The two lieutenant colonels sitting and chatting in the big truck were very annoyed, and Zhou Xiaoshan's major sitting in Yan Xishan's car was equally annoyed!
The commander gave so much gold. In case he failed to buy the machine or the price was not right, he planned to let Deputy Director Li stay in Zhangjiakou to have a good talk with nearby merchants and buy horses.
Now, he just wants to leave Shanxi as soon as possible!
"Commander Yan, you should take a closer look at the letter from Marshal Liu in your hand, as well as the agreement that our 66th Division hopes to do business with?"
Yan Xishan felt like he had seen a ghost. He now couldn't believe that he was in Taiyuan City and was being held hostage at his doorstep by hundreds of Sichuan Army soldiers.
Ignore the bastard next to me!
Tilt your head and look out the window!
"Yes, yes, yes!"
This bastard, seeing that he was ignoring me, took out a Mauser pistol and pointed it at his stomach.
I've lived for decades, damn it.
Who the hell dares to do that in Shanxi?
Yan Xishan was so angry that he almost hit the roof of the car with his head.
Watching the convoy leaving from afar, Yan Xishan's adjutant Yang Jindong was terrified and trembling all over. He ran away from the city gate . As he ran, he was thinking about which direction he should run. If Commander Yan knew that he had forced the Sichuan Army to kidnap him because he wanted to get some money, he would never be able to explain himself and his whole family would be skinned alive!
Although Yan Xishan's guards were disarmed by Wang Changqing's Third Company, the commander-in-chief was in front and Yan Xishan was accompanied by his adjutant, so the guard captain could only let the guard chief's truck follow the Sichuan Army's car!
The guard brigade in the city had long been scared away by Zhou Xiaoshan. The brave ones only saw from a distance that this group of Sichuan troops had hijacked a car.
Now the entire Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had no idea who their superiors were and were held hostage by hundreds of daring Sichuan troops.
Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui received the telegram at dusk when the special forces camp was set up!
When Feng Tiankui and Huang Yumin heard the urgent telegram from adjutant Feng Pingnian, they didn't believe it was true!
How could Yan Xishan keep such a greedy and bastard adjutant!
Blatantly asking for benefits in the boss’s residence!
