Chapter 1281
Xiao Yi's Family's Ideas, Zhao Xita, Li Aiguo Receives Another Special Merit
Mikhail had originally placed his hopes on the quality of the Russian tank crews.
With the superior performance of the T-62 tanks, they could have turned the tide.
However, reality struck him like a resounding slap across the face.
Without any suspense, those seemingly weak Type 59 tanks, like a pack of wolves, tore the T-62 tanks to pieces.
When the last reserve force was deployed to the battlefield, only to vanish instantly into the billowing smoke like a clay ox sinking into the sea, the light in Mikhail's eyes was completely extinguished.
"What method did those damned guys on the other side use?" On the distant high ground, Lord Vijay looked at the battlefield filled with smoke and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
That was an elite tank corps that the Indians had spent an astronomical amount of money to finally acquire!
That's it... over?!
It just made a sound and then disappeared?
"Master, what do we do now?" The servant asked worriedly as he saw the troops on the east side starting to clean up the battlefield.
"What to do? Of course, we should... run away!" Lord Vijay suddenly woke up, and a strange excitement instantly appeared on his originally terrified face.
"Quick! Get the car ready!"
The disastrous defeat in this war was due to the mismanagement of that Russian Mikhail! It was because of his stubbornness and arrogance!
Lord Vijay, despite his repeated and earnest advice, was ignored and even ruthlessly exiled to the rear.
So, what does this failure have to do with Lord Vijay? No!
Not only was he without fault, but upon returning home, he was also able to gain promotions and titles based on his "foresight" and "endurance."
Lord Vijay jumped into the jeep and urged, "Drive!"
The servant floored the accelerator, and the jeep roared away, kicking up clouds of yellow dust.
A faint, angry roar from Lord Vijay could be heard in the wind.
"Damn it, I'll be back!"
****
On the battlefield at this time.
The smoke of battle has not yet cleared.
Li Yunlong crawled out of the tank turret and stared at the steel tomb before him, stunned by the astonishing results of the battle.
Goodness gracious, this tank corps isn't one of those mediocre, filler units from India. This is Big Brother's true elite force—T-62s!
They just took care of them like that? Like chopping melons and vegetables?
Seeing Li Aiguo jump out of the command tank, Li Yunlong quickly stepped forward and firmly grasped Li Aiguo's hand.
"Patriotism! We won! We really won!"
"Yes, Lao Li, we won!" Li Aiguo looked at the battlefield where the victors were, his heart filled with excitement.
"We've won!"
"We've won!"
Soldiers around them emerged from the tanks, their cheers echoing through the sky.
Several soldiers excitedly climbed to a high place and raised the bright red flag high, which fluttered in the strong wind of the plateau.
Meanwhile, Dean Chen, who was far away at the frontier army headquarters, received good news from the front.
"Great! Okay!"
"This great victory not only completely wiped out the Indian tank army, but also took advantage of the situation to capture the Siliguri Corridor! This has dealt a fatal blow to India, creating excellent conditions for us to divide and encircle them!"
The adjutant beside him was also beaming with joy: "I heard that this was a one-sided massacre. The transistor radio that Patriot Comrade came up with was a stroke of genius, completely changing the mode of tank battles!"
"Yes, wolfpack tactics can fully utilize the power of tank encirclement, and Comrade Aiguo is also a tank warfare expert." Dean Chen thought for a moment and said, "Report the victory to the higher-ups immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Furthermore, inform Li Yunlong that we should press on with our remaining strength and continue with the next step of the plan!"
"Yes!"
Late at night, in a study in the capital city.
The superior leader slammed his fist on the table in excitement as he looked at the newly delivered telegram.
"Great! I never expected Comrade Li Aiguo to be a genius in tank warfare!"
The military leader was also very pleased: "Yes, I heard that this time the Indian tank force was personally commanded by a famous general from the Big Brother's family, and the tank crew members are all from the Big Brother's family."
"Haha, Comrade Patriot has really shown our strength this time. If our big brother wants to cause trouble again, he'll have to think twice." The higher-ups had actually known about this for a long time and were paying close attention.
We are not afraid of Big Brother now.
If it really comes down to a hard fight, it can hold its own.
but.
The higher-ups are unwilling to see the Big Brother intervene until they have complete control of the situation in South Asia.
"Comrade Aiguo's contribution this time is enough to earn him a special-class merit," the superior leader said after thinking for a moment.
"You shall immediately send a telegram to the Frontier Legion to commend all those who have rendered meritorious service this time, and send someone to the Frontier Legion to present awards to the patriotic comrades."
"Yes!" The leader of the military force immediately stood up.
After the military leader left, the superior leader walked to the window, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and was still somewhat agitated.
****
Radio waves flew from the plateau to the capital and also to the Siliguri Corridor.
When Li Aiguo received the telegram, he was sitting around a campfire with his soldiers, celebrating their victory.
The night sky over the plateau is dotted with stars, the campfire crackles, and the local specialty beef sizzles and oozes oil on the grill, filling the air with its aroma.
Several soldiers with rough voices were singing folk songs from their hometown at the top of their lungs. Although they were off-key, their singing was full of pride.
The liquor was a sweet potato liquor urgently transported from the rear. Although alcohol is usually prohibited in the army, tonight is an exception, a celebration for the victors.
Li Yunlong walked over with the telegram in his hand.
"Patriotism, I just received the order. Tomorrow the troops will continue their westward advance. Dean Chen specifically sent a telegram requesting your return."
Li Yunlong spoke with some reluctance. Although Li Aiguo was not a soldier, he was a master at commanding battles.
If we could join forces with Li Aiguo, the war in South Asia would be much easier.
However, Li Yunlong also knew that Li Aiguo's role in the rear was far greater than that on the battlefield.
"Really? Come, let me toast you." Although Li Aiguo knew he would have to leave sooner or later, he was still a little reluctant and raised his glass.
"Comrade Patriot, I'd like to offer you a toast."
"I'll also toast you."
The soldiers around him stood up one after another, carrying all sorts of aluminum lunch boxes and enamel mugs filled with strong liquor.
"Dry!"
The sound of lunchboxes clattering together could be heard everywhere.
Li Aiguo tilted his head back and drank the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp.
That night, everyone got completely drunk and didn't disperse until late at night.
In the early morning, the sunlight on the plateau was particularly dazzling.
As soon as Li Aiguo woke up, the escort team arranged by Li Yunlong was already ready to set off.
The guard captain was named Zhang Fang, a veteran with excellent skills. He was accompanied by a company of fully armed soldiers.
Although we have now occupied this area, it is still on someone else's property, and the Indians could launch an attack at any time.
The soldiers traveled in trucks, accompanied by medical and logistical personnel.
As Li Aiguo walked over, he noticed that there was a jeep behind the convoy.
A young woman dressed in a sari stared at Li Aiguo through the window with wide, dark eyes, looking at him with curiosity.
This girl has features of Indians, so she should be a Kshatriya, but she looks a bit like someone from our region.
Beside the girl were several middle-aged women who looked like servants.
Li Aiguo was puzzled when Li Yunlong came over and explained the situation.
"Patriot, let me introduce you. This young lady is named Xita, or Zhao Xita in Chinese. She is the daughter of an important person here."
This high-ranking official has our ancestry and has a very good relationship with us.
I'm returning to the capital with you this time to attend university.
Li Aiguo instantly understood.
Taking over territory is easy, but digesting it is not so simple.
A high-ranking official with whom we have a good relationship can be of great help.
Sending children to study abroad is the most common way to foster a closer relationship between the two families.
Li Aiguo didn't pay any attention, nodded, and prepared to get on the bus.
At this moment, Zhao Xita got out of the car and ran over.
"You're the tank tactics master my father was talking about, aren't you?"
"Your father knows me?" Li Aiguo was stunned.
“My father was also on the battlefield yesterday, but he was responsible for providing intelligence support. Tank tactics master, please take good care of me when I get to the capital.” Zhao Xita was well-educated and exceptionally polite.
Li Aiguo offered a suggestion: "You're too kind, Comrade Zhao Xita. Just call me Comrade Aiguo. Everyone around me calls me that. I don't feel comfortable hearing you call me Master."
Li Yunlong burst into laughter, while Zhao Xita blushed crimson.
"Alright, you guys should hurry up and set off. This journey is quite long; we'll be crossing the Nathu La Pass."
"Uncle Yunlong, see you later!"
Li Yunlong noticed that Li Aiguo used the word "see you later," shook hands with him, and added, "Aiguo, I'm so glad you came this time, otherwise, dealing with these T62s would have been quite a challenge."
Li Yunlong never underestimated his opponents; the tank soldiers of his elder brother's family were indeed top-notch.
Li Aiguo nodded, turned around and got into the large off-road vehicle. The wheels kicked up dust as it sped away.
Goodbye, my dearest comrades.
Just as Li Aiguo embarked on his journey home, news of the Siliguri Corridor battle spread like wildfire throughout the world.
Ever since the two families started fighting, news of the Indian family being brutally beaten has been circulating from time to time, and everyone has become used to it.
But this time it's different!
This time, India lost an entire tank corps, and it was the most elite tank corps of the Big Brother.
The team was commanded by Mikhail, a highly respected tank warfare expert from the elder brother's family.
And the result? Utter annihilation! Not even a trace remained!
Xiao Mei's family, who were the first to receive the news, were so shocked that their eyes practically popped out of their sockets.
After confirming that Langley's information was accurate, Commander Ken immediately convened a meeting of Pentagon generals to analyze the battle.
"According to intelligence, the enemy used wolf pack tactics."
"The wolf pack tactic is not a new tactic. It was used by Sanders during World War II, but it was not very effective, mainly because it was too troublesome to command."
"I heard that the Type 59 tank has been fitted with an antenna, so it seems that this problem has been solved."
"Twenty Type 59 tanks surrounded and attacked one T-62 tank."
"This is absolutely disgusting! This is outrageous!" "If this is the case, even if we send our proud M-series tanks in, they'll probably run into big trouble."
The generals felt a headache coming on at the thought that the enemy could precisely command tanks at any time.
Commander Daken nodded as well.
"Thank God, we're not near them, there's a beautiful ocean to keep us away."
"That's right, our large ships and large aircraft still have an absolute advantage."
"The pressure is all on the Russian side now."
You can call them bad, troublemakers, but you absolutely cannot call them incompetent.
Their strategic vision is incredibly sharp.
Their guess was absolutely right.
When the Korean emperor learned of the news from the Indians, he flew into a rage.
India has so many of the most advanced T-62 tanks! They are the pride of an armored torrent!
They were all destroyed in just a few days?
Even if there were two hundred pigs, it would take three days to catch them all, right?
Even if they replaced them all with tractors and drove them into the crash, they wouldn't have lost so badly!
"What a hopeless case!"
Just then, the assistant rushed in and reported, "Sir, General Xun Zhang and the others have held a meeting and are asking you to go and explain."
The Corn Emperor froze, his anger instantly turning to ashes: "Explain? Explain what?"
"According to inside sources, someone has filed a strong complaint, saying that you... maliciously undermined the unity of the camp."
Upon hearing this, the Corn Emperor's heart sank.
He knew he was in real trouble this time.
Regardless, the older brother and the younger brother are still nominally family. Now that he's openly helping outsiders fight against his own people, there's been discontent among some within the organization for some time.
Most importantly, what was sold this time was not just tanks, but also Mikhail and his tank crew.
If we had won, everything would have been fine, but now that we've lost, others are bound to cause trouble.
"Oh, you Indian, you're such a scourge! You idiot!" The Corn Emperor sighed to the heavens, on the verge of tears.
The impact of this matter is not limited to the eldest brother's family.
When Old Sa from Little Yi's family learned that the Type 95 tank had actually defeated his older brother's T-62, he immediately became interested.
It's important to know that Saddam Hussein considered himself a Middle Eastern tyrant and always wanted to prove his abilities.
In recent years, in particular, the Yi family has made a fortune from oil and has begun to set their sights on the Lang family.
If we could get our hands on this amazing tank that can beat the T-62...wouldn't our chances of winning increase dramatically?
then.
The special envoy sent by Old Sa quietly flew eastward.
****
"Worthy!"
"grass!"
"Holy shit!"
On the Sikkim Plateau, Li Aiguo's hair stood on end, and he replaced his Dah knife with a monk's staff.
Opposite him was a Bengal tiger that was nearly four meters long.
Li Aiguo was puzzled: shouldn't such a large tiger appear in mountainous areas? How did it end up on the plateau?
Could it be that it came here chasing after wild wolves?
This thing is really too powerful. The Indian Dah Knife looks impressive, but it's not very useful.
Dah's knife almost sent me flying with a single swipe.
It's not like we haven't taken down tigers before. So what? Are tigers in foreign countries more formidable?
Li Aiguo had only come down from the Da Yue Yue motorcycle to sample the tiger penis, but now he was taking it more seriously.
He held the staff horizontally in his hand. The staff was made of West Sam wood, a naturally grown, straight tree, and was crafted into a monk's staff by Comrade Zhao Xita.
Although it wasn't soaked in tung oil, it was hard enough.
Li Aiguo used his "Date-Beating Stick Technique," his staff twirling in a dazzling display that kept the Bengal tiger at bay. The tiger was as swift as the wind; getting close would be too dangerous.
But this stalemate can't go on forever; the Bengal tiger's endurance far surpasses that of humans.
Li Aiguo, panting, retreated slightly, seemingly considering giving up...
But how could the inherently cruel Bengal tiger let this go?
Lately, there's been shelling here every day, and the prey has long since disappeared. It hasn't had a proper meal in ages.
These frail humans in front of me are the best food.
Li Aiguo staggered, seemingly about to fall.
The Bengal tiger realized its chance had come and pounced with an excited roar.
But the next second, it sensed that something was wrong.
The staggering human actually spun around in place, dodging its fatal attack.
Before the Bengal tiger could react, Li Aiguo had already jumped up from the spot, suddenly raised the martial monk's staff that was almost falling to the ground, and swung it down hard as the Bengal tiger twisted its body to land and dodge.
"Hey! You beast!"
The monk's staff slammed down on the Bengal tiger's body like a mountain crashing down.
Even Li Aiguo himself doesn't know how strong he is now.
The blow sent the Bengal tiger screaming in agony. But that wasn't all. Before the tiger could even turn around, Li Aiguo brought down another blow.
The stick fell like raindrops, as if it were hitting dates off a tree.
The tiger never understood why it was beaten to death by the monk's staff until its death.
How can there be such absurd humans?
Li Aiguo continued hitting for more than ten minutes, becoming more and more energetic as he hit.
I feel that my jujube-beating stick technique is about to reach a new level. Before, I only knew how to use brute force, but now I seem to understand what it means to hit a cow from across a mountain.
Old Xu once said that by reaching this stage, Li Aiguo's stick skills had become quite proficient, and he could be considered a true master.
Li Aiguo walked up to the panting tiger, lightly tapped its head with his toe, and the tiger only had time to let out a whimper before it froze completely.
Inside the jeep, Zhao Xita kept looking at Li Aiguo with a worried expression. If it weren't for her servants stopping her, she would have jumped out long ago.
After all, that's a Bengal tiger, which even experienced hunters with guns used to struggle against.
This young man from the East only carried a stick.
The result, however, was unexpected.
The Bengal tiger was actually beaten to death.
Seeing the captain of the guard team leading soldiers to help drag the tiger away, Zhao Xita could no longer hold back and quickly ran down.
"Comrade Aiguo, are you alright?"
"It's alright, we'll have tiger meat for lunch today." Li Aiguo had never tasted Bengal tiger meat before.
Zhao Xita brought several maids with him, all of whom were skilled at handling wild animals. Using a knife that Li Aiguo had never seen before, they cut into the tiger's belly, then with a few shakes, the entire tiger skin came off.
The captain of the guard had already lit a campfire over there, and tiger meat was skewered on iron rods and sprinkled with salt.
As for the taste, it was even slightly worse than the tiger meat that Li Aiguo had eaten before.
In the following days, the team's progress was slow. Whenever they encountered tigers or wolves, Li Aiguo would get out of the vehicle and deal with them.
The captain and members of the guard team were already used to it and simply assumed that Li Aiguo liked hunting. They just found it strange that he used a stick to hunt.
Li Aiguo didn't explain; upon seeing the Bengal tiger, he opened the car door and pounced.
He's getting faster and faster at dealing with tigers now.
When Zhao Xita arrived with his servants, the tiger had already been knocked to the ground, and Li Aiguo had also pierced the thin membrane.
Become!
The modern jujube-beating stick technique, once unleashed, can shatter internal organs even through flesh, greatly increasing its lethality.
Even if a dozen or so special forces soldiers surround and attack, there's no need to worry.
"This tiger seems to have been killed with just two or three blows, and its external injuries aren't serious. How could it have died so quickly?" The captain of the guard team had a vicious look in his eyes. He looked at the tiger lying on the ground, then at Li Aiguo, who was holding a stick, and seemed to understand something.
Four or five days later, Li Aiguo and his party finally crossed the mountain pass and successfully arrived at the border corps's camp.
When Dean Chen learned that Li Aiguo had returned, he personally led a group to welcome him and held a celebration meeting.
All the officers and staff of the frontier corps were present.
Dean Chen personally pinned a medal on Li Aiguo's chest.
Seeing this, the officers and staff below were somewhat surprised, because even the rewarding of merits had to wait until after the war was over.
Why so fast this time!
"Comrade Aiguo, I hope you will continue your efforts and make new contributions!" Dean Chen patted Li Aiguo on the shoulder.
Li Aiguo saluted Dean Chen and said, "Please rest assured, I will continue to work hard in the future."
Wow!
The hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.
The accompanying reporter picked up his camera, pressed the shutter, and captured this precious moment.
This trip to the frontier can now be considered to have officially come to an end.
"Patriotism, I'll arrange a transport plane to take you back to Beijing tomorrow."
After the dinner, Dean Chen looked at Li Aiguo and said in a low voice.
Li Aiguo glanced at the performance on stage and frowned: "Boss, why the rush?"
Generally speaking, using transport planes is a big deal. Li Aiguo usually hitches a ride on a transport plane, but this time he sent a special plane.
"I just received news from the capital that the Yi family's special envoy has secretly arrived in the capital. I heard that he wants to purchase weapons. Considering that you are quite familiar with the Yi family, the higher-ups would like to ask you to go back and help with the negotiations."
Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo immediately nodded.
"Boss, I understand."
With these discussions concluded, the celebration party came to a successful end.
Dean Chen stood up and applauded to thank the comrades who came to the border region for the performance.
Then he patted Li Aiguo on the shoulder: "Comrade Aiguo, on behalf of the Frontier Legion, I thank you this time. I heard that you especially like local specialties, so I had someone prepare a box to send back with you. Although the gift is simple, I will always remember your help to our Frontier Legion."
There was thunderous applause.
Dean Chen's considerations were indeed thorough; no matter what, Li Aiguo was not yet a member of the Legion.
Li Aiguo smiled broadly and joined everyone in applauding.
