Chapter 522: 522What are you waiting for?

 Chapter 522522What are you waiting for?

Things are sometimes so strange. Hundreds of thousands of people have begun to migrate in the Beiling area of ​​Bunas Jade City, where the turmoil is the most violent, but in fact no one is ready to fight here.

 At the border between Tang and Qi, where war was really being prepared, the silence was terrifying. All trade ports have been closed, envoys between the two countries have been recalled, and everything seems to have stopped.

On both sides of the boundary monuments, the two sides mobilized their troops and generals, already looking like they were fighting to the death - things had reached this point, even if Qi State didn't want to fight, the war must be fought.

　　No one will complain that their trenches are too deep and complicated before the war comes, and no one will complain that their ammunition reserves are too high.

In Qi State, in a hidden position, a group of soldiers were carrying boxes of bullets. The commanders had already smelled the smell of war, so they had already begun to find ways to distribute the bullets to the soldiers fighting on the front line.

These ammunition must be hoarded in carefully camouflaged, concealed and strong fortifications on the position.

Qi soldiers wearing soft hats and carrying Cyric Type 1 bolt-action rifles were guarding the distance. In front of them was a barbed wire fence. A little further past, you could still see the small mounds on the other side of the national border.

Comparing them, it seems that the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom were not prepared for war at all. The thin barbed wire fences and the laborers digging trenches were not visible on the opposite side.

Although the commanders warned everyone over and over again that the enemy's fortifications might be behind the mounds, no one wanted to believe such nonsense.

If the opponent builds a defense line, how could the commanding heights of the mound not be used? At least one company of soldiers should be deployed here, right? There must be at least three trenches and one ditch in front, right?

 But there was nothing on the Tang Army's side, only some Tang Army soldiers who were patrolling regularly could be seen passing by - they wore steel helmets and gray-green military uniforms, and hurried past carrying bags and weapons on their backs.

Logically speaking, today is probably still a peaceful day, an ordinary day without any disturbance. Everyone still dug trenches, repaired fortifications, ate some military rations that even dogs would not eat, and turned off the lights at night to rest.

 But on such a peaceful day, things suddenly started to change—the loudspeakers used for broadcasting on the position suddenly started to sound, and a piece of news that surprised everyone began to reverberate around the position.

"The enemy opened fire! Fight back! Fight back!" The voice from the loudspeaker kept ringing along with the sizzling interference sound, and then the sound of machine gun fire really sounded from the position not far away.

The battalion commander rushed out of his command bunker angrily without even putting on his pants, and loudly asked what happened.

 But no one knows what happened. No one knows what happened. Everyone just heard the sound of machine gun fire and the news of the outbreak of war that kept echoing from the loudspeakers.

"Who gave the order to fire? Who on earth!" The battalion commander, who heard the gunfire not far away, finally put on his pants at this time, and then led his guards to rush towards the position not far away.

That was the position of the Second Battalion next door. Although it was not under his jurisdiction, it obviously didn't matter if he went over to see what was going on.

 But he had just taken two steps when the sound of the whizzing shells scared him so much that he shrank his neck and stopped cursing.

 He ​​could hear it, it was the sound of the Cyric 130mm caliber howitzer deployed on the front line, and it was the sound of flying from Qi to Tang!

"What's going on...Didn't I just emphasize yesterday that you should not fire the first shot?" The battalion commander was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

  He has been in a state of confusion until now, and he himself does not know what happened. Why did someone shoot, and why did the artillerymen behind start shelling inexplicably?

 Does the head of the group know? Does the teacher know? The commander... The commander must not know that this guy is probably still in his concubine's bed in the city behind...

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong..." He was keenly aware that this was completely different from the spirit of the previous meeting, and there must be something wrong.

 But as a young battalion commander, how could he know what the problem was? He could only stand there blankly, watching the war in front of him expand little by little.

 At the beginning it was a 130mm howitzer, and then there was a 130mm howitzer battery. Everyone didn't know what happened, so they started their own performances.

The machine guns of the next battalion just stopped firing, but then sporadic gunfire came over. Then it seemed like a bullet flew from the opposite side, and someone fired back at the position where the Qi Army battalion commander was.

 The war seems to have broken out. If not, why did it suddenly become so lively?

Soon a signal soldier passed by. He came to ask if there had been any attack by the Tang army here. Some people said they heard the gunfire from the opposite side, while others said they didn't. In short, the accounts were so diverse that even the battalion commander himself was not sure whether he heard the sound of the other side's firing.

Because until now, it seems that the Tang Army has not launched an effective artillery fire back, and can only hear the Qi Army's cannons roaring from time to time. Before the signal soldier left, a new signal soldier arrived. He came to convey the order, ordering all troops to prepare for battle and to resolutely fight back if the Tang army attacked.

The voice on the loudspeaker has changed, and it has begun to broadcast news of the Tang Army's attack in a loop. It is said that the Tang Army is attacking a position more than ten kilometers away, so they are firing back.

Soon someone discovered that although their side was fighting with great enthusiasm, there didn't seem to be any decent counterattack from Tang Jun's side.

 Originally everyone was guessing that behind the mound on the other side of the border must be the defensive position of the Tang army, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The artillery fire just now basically hit the other side of the mound, but the Tang army was obviously not hurt, otherwise it would not have been possible to remain silent until now.

The gunfire that lasted for more than two hours, as well as the sporadic sound of artillery, were almost all fought by the Qi army, and it was as if the Tang army did not exist at all.

At this moment, even the soldier who initially swore that he heard the gunshots of the Tang Army's counterattack was not sure whether he actually saw the incoming bullets hitting the front of the position.

Until now, no one knows whether it was the Tang army on their side who opened fire and attacked first, or whether it was the Tang army on their side who took action first. Everyone looked at a loss, and what followed was a series of operations that made people laugh or cry.

Tang issued a statement, condemning Qi for causing trouble on the border, invading Tang territory, and attacking Tang army patrols.

Qi State responded immediately, accusing the Tang army of taking the lead in opening fire and attacking its own defensive positions, undermining regional peace and stability.

As if everything was a matter of course, Tang declared war on Qi, and a few minutes later Qi declared war on Tang. The two sides didn't even seem to be in the mood to argue about who fired the first shot, and they went straight to a showdown without even going through the process.

Things that have developed to this point seem to be within the scope of everyone's understanding, but what happens next is a bit unclear.

After the two sides declared war, the border became silent: Qi State did not continue to waste artillery shells on the Tang Army, but the Tang Army did not carry out follow-up actions.

Since the Qi army had no means of breakthrough, they could only stay on the ground and wait for the Tang army to attack. After all, their previous plan was to defend.

After all, the Tang army had left the impression on Cyric that its tactics were unpredictable, flexible and sharp, so Cyric's military advisory group formulated tactics for the generals of the Qi army to hold their positions.

 Furthermore, the experience left over from the last war shows that the defensive side has an advantage no matter what, while the attacking side is prone to suffer losses even if it invests in new weapons. Under this general premise, it is understandable that the Qi army stood firm and was unwilling to take the lead in launching an attack.

As for the Tang Army, because Tang Mo was not fully ready yet, his follow-up troops were still gathering along the railway, waiting for subsequent transportation.

These newly formed troops are used to fill the defense line. In addition, Tang Mo's air force has not yet all arrived in the war zone and needs a few days of rest and adjustment, so he is not in a hurry to launch an attack.

The day after Tang declared war on Qi, the Great China Empire announced that it would condemn Tang for being arrogant and rude, and then Chu also announced that it would condemn Tang.

 Amidst the hysterical condemnation from these countries, the Tang Army's B-17 bomber unit arrived at the front line and began to rest and recuperate.

 Another day later, the two newly formed infantry divisions arrived at the front line, and subsequent heavy weapons and equipment began to be put in place.

In the afternoon of this day, the Lions Empire announced that it condemned the Datang Group's support for the Tang Kingdom and demanded that the Datang Group stop arms trade with the Datang Kingdom.

Subsequently, Dorne and Susas also called the Datang Group, hoping that the Datang Group could reconsider its relationship with the Kingdom of Datang. At the same time, they emphasized that if the Datang Group insisted on going its own way, it would affect the relationship between the two countries and the Datang Group. business cooperation.

On the fourth day after Tang and Qi declared war, the battlefield remained calm. This sit-down war that opened the eyes of the whole world seemed to make everyone begin to feel that the once invincible Tang security force was no longer the same. But that's all.

 Early on the fifth day, when the first ray of sunshine shone on this land, Tang Mo received the telegram from Tiger and Redman, claiming that he was ready to attack.

"Order Tiger and Redman to start attacking... We can't let our enemies wait too long. After so long, they seem to have forgotten that Datang... has not been defeated yet!" Putting down the message paper, Tang Mo used A voice that no one could hear said to itself: "I'm waiting for the tanks and planes to arrive... What are you waiting for? Jiang Xian?"
