Chapter 272 Undeclared War
Gao Yuan and the others spent an uneasy night.
The Pakistani army seriously lacks heavy weapons. They only have a small number of mountain guns, some mortars, a dozen tanks and more than 20 armored vehicles. As for large-caliber artillery, they don't have a single one.
However, being able to transfer the soldiers defending the eastern front positions to the western front has also brought Gilgit's overall defense strength to a higher level. After all, the pressure and feelings of two-front operations and single-line operations are completely different.
But Gilgit was still under Asan's fire, and could not fight back.
Gilgit is very crowded, but the refugees whose homes were destroyed by the war cannot leave because they are surrounded and compressed in this small city. Now, although the enemy forces on the eastern front have been completely annihilated, they still cannot
People leave.
These people would rather continue to endure the threat of shelling than see how Asan on the Western Front was defeated.
Modern warfare is about logistics, so experts talk about internal logistics, while laymen talk about strategy.
Ah San's logistics also had problems. Their artillery shells were not endless. Gilgit had been besieged for a long time, and Ah San's artillery shells were also in short supply, so they would only fire one artillery shell every once in a while.
Although the shelling was not violent, the shells that were unknown where they would land and the sudden explosions from time to time still made Gao Yuan nervous every time.
It finally dawned.
Gao Yuan and the others will not participate in the negotiations, and Bucky had held emergency negotiations with Asan yesterday. The two sides decided that at ten o'clock this morning, negotiators from Bucky and China would enter Asan's position to negotiate.
Bucky hoped to negotiate between the two military lines, but Ah San rejected the proposal without hesitation. After a night of negotiations last night, Bucky finally made a concession, and Yao Yi also agreed to enter Ah San.
Three control areas to negotiate.
When the time came, Bucky first sent a ten-man troop across his own position to Ah San's position. After confirming again that Ah San would not fire, it was time for Yao Yi and Bucky's negotiators to set off.
Chen Wei will not go to negotiate. As representatives of China, there are Yao Yi, a translator, and a counselor, and there are also three people on Bucky's side.
Gao Yuan wanted to see Yao Yi off, but both Yao Yi and Chen Wei rejected his request.
Ever since he knew the importance of Gao Yuan and Xinghe, Yao Yi refused to let Gao Yuan leave the house that could be protected from bombardment, so Gao Yuan couldn't even watch Yao Yi leave.
Negotiations start at ten o'clock and end at twelve o'clock. Even if there is no result, we have to wait for Yao Yi and the others to come back before negotiating. In fact, this time Yao Yi only formally issued a war threat. If he really wants to negotiate, he will probably have to go.
The second or third time will do.
Logically speaking, if the negotiations end at twelve o'clock, and the return time is included, Yao Yi should be back at half past twelve, but it is already twelve forty, and Yao Yi has not come back yet.
Gao Yuan became anxious. He wanted to ask Chen Wei, but Chen Wei was with Mahali, leaving him with no one to ask.
Just when Gao Yuan thought something might have happened to Yao Yi, Wang Ning ran out of the medical room and said anxiously to a few people who were still waiting anxiously: "Li Yang is awake!"
In any case, it is great news that Li Yang wakes up.
Gao Yuan immediately ran to the medical room where Li Yang was.
Li Yang had already opened his eyes. He looked at Gao Yuan, his lackluster eyes blinked a few times, and then he still showed a happy smile.
Li Yang wanted to open his mouth to speak, but the wound on his neck was touched. Wang Ning immediately said: "Stop talking, just let you look at Gao Yuan and know that we are all okay. Come here and let him see that I am not."
Lie to him."
Gao Yuan said loudly: "Brother Yang, we are all fine, we are all fine, very fine!"
Yu Shunzhou poked his head out from behind and said, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later! Well done to you, Brother Yang!"
Li Yang grinned with difficulty, and then Wang Ning said urgently: "Okay, okay, I've seen everything, everyone, go out and get out of here."
Gao Yuan and the others were pushed out of the medical room by Wang Ning. After closing the door with his backhand, Wang Ning breathed out and said: "We have passed the most dangerous time. This life is saved. He doesn't believe that you are all fine. I
Just let him see you, it will be good for him to reassure him, but..."
Wang Ning lowered his voice, pulled Gao Yuan aside, and whispered: "We don't have many medicines. We use all the medicines we brought with us. Bucky is in dire need of medicines, not even physiological saline.
I can only use distilled water."
"Is that enough?"
"We have brought a lot of medicines, but we have to be prepared for various situations, so we can only bring some of the medicines. Now Li Yang's necessary medicines can last for four days. In his case, four days is far from it.
It’s time to stop taking the medicine.”
Gao Yuan took a breath and said: "Look for any medicines seized from Ah San, and then I'll think of a solution."
Li Yang said helplessly: "I didn't expect that Gilgit didn't even have the most basic medicine. This is really..."
"We have been under siege for three months. Seriously wounded people appear every day. We have already run out. There are still four days left. I want to think of a way."
Doctors are only responsible for saving lives and healing the wounded. When it comes to finding medicines, others have to find solutions.
Gao Yuan began to feel that it was difficult to be the steward of a team.
At this moment, Chen Wei finally appeared with an anxious look on his face.
Looking at Chen Wei's face, Gao Yuan knew something was wrong.
Walking directly in front of Gao Yuan, Chen Wei took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his anger, and then whispered: "Ambassador Yao was detained by Ah San!"
"What?"
The worst fears turned out to be true.
Chen Wei took a deep breath again, and then he gritted his molars and said, "I never thought that Ah San could do something like this. Now they are not crazy, but outright idiots!"
Chen Wei even cursed, but thinking about how angry he was now, Gao Yuan said anxiously: "What's going on?"
"When our negotiators went there, they brought a list of prisoners and video materials to prove that we had indeed captured everyone in Ah San's entire Eastern Front Army. However, Ah San also accepted us after seeing our evidence.
After the formal diplomatic note was issued, the negotiators first left, and more than an hour later, Asan’s guards directly detained our negotiators.”
Gao Yuan said anxiously: "How did this news come out?"
"Ah San sent back an interpreter and made a request that we exchange all the captured Ah San officers for our negotiators."
Gao Yuan was dumbfounded. He knew Ah San was weird, but he didn't expect Ah San to be weird to this extent.
Chen Wei's face was ashen, and Pan Xin said in astonishment: "This is, this is the ambassador representing China! Ah San is declaring war by doing this!"
Chen Wei waved his hand angrily, but said nothing.
Ah San has done everything, what else is there to say.
When two armies are fighting, the envoy should not be killed. The principle that was understood in ancient times does not apply to Asan now.
Moreover, even if the two countries declare war, the most they can do is expel each other's diplomats. Even if they have become a mess on the battlefield, a slightly normal country will not take the other side's diplomats as hostages, let alone
We will not treat the other party's diplomats as hostages in prisoner exchange.
What's more, Yao Yi only issued an ultimatum, but he hadn't declared war yet.
Gao Yuan stood stunned for a long time, and then he finally said: "What should I do?"
Chen Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know, if China is really standing behind us, then Ah San's move is a formal declaration of war. There is no need to negotiate anymore, just start fighting. But now, aren't we threatening Ah San now?
And Bucky can’t fight through it.”
Gao Yuan said with difficulty: "You can't really exchange hostages, can you?"
Chen Wei shook his finger and said: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Also, Ah San in our hands is a prisoner, a prisoner you captured with real swords and guns, and Ambassador Yao, he
They were shamelessly detained as hostages by Ah San, so these are completely different things. Moreover, Ah San's behavior was not a declaration of war at all. They were fighting an undeclared war, and it was the most despicable undeclared war.
"
Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Okay, then let's consider how to rescue Ambassador Yao."
Chen Wei looked at Gao Yuan and said: "Rescue? How to rescue? It can't be fought out at all, it can't break through the enemy's defense line, and even if it breaks through the enemy's defense line, Ah San will have enough time to hurt or transfer Ambassador Yao and the others.
"
Gao Yuan thought for a while, looked at Pan Xin and said, "Lao Jian, what should we do in this situation?"
Pan Xin said without hesitation: "Immediately send someone to Ah San's place to stabilize them. Pretend to agree to the exchange first and stall for time, at least until night."
"You mean nocturnal?"
"Yes, there is no chance during the day. Rescue operations can only be carried out at night."
Pan Xin took a step forward and said: "Try to find out where Ambassador Yao and the others are being held. Once the location is determined, the rescue operation will be more convenient."
Chen Wei shook his head and said: "This is...impossible. The enemy's Western Front troops have at least more than 10,000 people. How could you launch a rescue operation under the enemy's heavy siege? Even if you found Ambassador Yao, how could you possibly rescue him?"
He brought it out, and...this is unrealistic, you can't even break through the enemy's defense line."
Chen Wei took a breath and said: "You created a great miracle yesterday. Of course I know this, but yesterday the enemy was unprepared. But now, the enemy on the Western Front is obviously prepared. This situation is different.
"
Gao Yuan was very confident and said seriously: "Chief, if a miracle can only happen once, it is a miracle. If it can happen every time, it is not a miracle."
Pan Xin nodded sincerely, and then whispered: "Chief, we know what we are doing, just trust our captain."
Chen Wei looked at Gao Yuan, frowned and said: "Of course I am willing to believe you, but, this is too incredible."
Gao Yuan didn't need to boast. He couldn't help but Li Jingang said: "Chief, it's different. Our captain can do things that ordinary people can't do. Some things that are miraculous to normal people are miraculous to our captain."
That's the norm. Just think about it, how we killed yesterday was just another copy."
