Chapter 111: You guys are just asking for a beating!

  The Tiger-headed Eagle has a distinctive feature, its beak and claws are golden yellow. Especially its beak, the golden yellow is very eye-catching. Over time, the Tiger-headed Eagle was said to have become the Yellow-beaked Eagle. Obviously, this is not a worthy title. Coincidentally, such a title spread widely in the White Swan Star Military District, and it's unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional.

  The name "Yellow Beak" carries a derogatory tone in people's general perception.

  For the members of the 114th Division, it was natural to think that their brown-tailed tiger was one level higher than the tiger-headed eagle, so they contemptuously called the tiger-headed eagle a yellow-beaked eagle, and it became habitual. In fact, among all the troops around Bai Houxing, the deepest contradiction with the Fourth Guard Brigade was the 114th Division.

  For the officers and men of the Fourth Guard Division, being called "Yellow Beak" was naturally very unpleasant. Isn't this openly looking down on people? They had seen bullying before, but not like this. However, compared to the powerful and favored 114th Division, the Fourth Guard Division's abilities were indeed limited, so they could only temporarily swallow their anger.

  Zhang Bo was relatively more tactful, he didn't want to make things too awkward. Or, even if things were made awkward, it was necessary to establish the reason first and let the other party be in the wrong. Only then would there be no aftermath when Xia Xing Xiao started acting out later. He said euphemistically: "Sorry, Colonel, there may have been some misunderstanding between us."

  His idea is actually similar to Lin Fei's. They are both very calm. As long as Xia Xingxiao is still in their team, they don't have anything to worry about. Take action? This is the best outcome. With Xia Xingxiao's strength, he can definitely beat the opponent until they're toothless. However, before taking action, they must pave the way for Xia Xingxiao and eliminate any future troubles.

  To say that Xia Xingxiao has some shortcomings, it is that he is relatively immature, does not understand things, and is more impulsive, doing things without considering the consequences. As people who have been through this before, they must first eliminate these hidden dangers. Specifically, they cannot let Xia Xingxiao lose reason, nor can they let the opponent grasp Xia Xingxiao's handle. Otherwise, they will be unable to defeat Xia Xingxiao on the battlefield and will definitely catch Xia Xingxiao's handle in other aspects. What they need to do is to prevent the opponent from grasping Xia Xingxiao's handle.

  With Xia Xingxiao's personality, it was obviously impossible to say anything good to the other party. However, Xia Xingxiao didn't need to say anything, Zhang Bo and Lin Fei could take care of it for him. With Xia Xingxiao backing them up, even if they went a bit overboard, they wouldn't be afraid. As long as it was for the sake of maintaining the honor and interests of the Fourth Guard Regiment, even if they were investigated later, nothing would happen to them.

  Moreover, Aiyexing is the territory of Houtouyao, and Heiweihu is making trouble here. They can't take advantage of it at all. This kind of open and secret struggle between troops requires that everyone in the Fourth Guard Brigade must be united externally; otherwise, they will be drowned by gossip.

  As for whether the other party is making trouble or not, it depends on their abilities. Some things are originally ambiguous. Taking a step forward means making trouble, while taking a step back means performing official duties. The boundary between these two is actually unclear and has no clear standard, it just depends on who has more evidence in hand. Or to put it another way, it depends on who made more mistakes.

  Zheng Dongming looked at them with disdain and said coldly, "Misunderstanding? I don't see any misunderstanding. What I saw was that our Brown Tiger people were beaten by you. What's going on with you? Border defense army, how can you not understand the rules? You're not good at fighting against sand thieves, but you're quite fierce when it comes to dealing with your own people! No wonder every time we have to clean up after you."

  This sentence is equivalent to all federal troops in the Chiang Mai military base being involved, Zhang Bo

  Lin Fei, Li Yuzhi and others' faces suddenly turned red. They said Xia Xingxiao was not wrong to hit someone. Wang Tong was indeed beaten by Xia Xingxiao. That Feng Lingkai was also indeed beaten by Xia Xingxiao. And that Zhou Ranliu was also indeed beaten badly by Xia Xingxiao.

  But that's their own fault, can't blame anyone else. They came up with such arrogance and domineering attitude, who wouldn't want to teach them a lesson? If Li Yuzhi had Xia Xingxiao's abilities, he might have made his move long ago. These guys are just begging to be taught a lesson!

  Now, Zheng Dongming brought out Sha Tao to discuss the matter, and Li Yuzhi's anger grew even greater. When Ai Yexing encountered danger, the first to rush to reinforce was the 112th Division. The 114th Division arrived late, like a big master. If it weren't for the 112th Division arriving early, I estimate that by the time the 114th Division arrived, Ai Yexing would have already fallen.

  Thinking back to the previous battles, Li Yuzi and others became even more furious. Aiyexing, as the forefront of resistance against the Sha bandits, was often attacked by the Sha bandits. However, every time, the first to respond with reinforcements were always the people from the 112nd Division. Every time, the 114th Division would arrive late. In fact, there were several times when the Sha bandits had already retreated before they slowly arrived.

  When the cultivator troops and the sand thieves were fighting to the death, the mechanical troops were watching from the side, slowly and leisurely arriving. This was not a battle, but rather a sightseeing tour. Such behavior, if put lightly, was delaying the opportunity to win. The rescue effort was weak. If put heavily, it was essentially lending a knife to kill someone, attempting to use the sand thieves' hands to destroy the cultivator troops.

  Due to the discord between the Mechanized Corps and the Cultivator Corps, the entire Federation was aware of it. As a result, rumors that the Mechanized Corps attempted to use the Sand Bandits to annihilate the Cultivator Corps had been circulating widely. Despite the Federation military taking many measures and imposing news censorship, strictly forbidding journalists from spreading this matter, for the old soldiers of the Miao Luo Military Base, this rumor was not unfamiliar at all. At least, Zhang Bo and Lin Fei were very clear about it.

  "I'm sorry, Colonel. I can't accept your words. Our Mian Luo military base has always been at the forefront of fighting against the Sha bandits. We have fought countless battles with them and achieved great results, but also made tremendous sacrifices. We believe that the combat achievements of the 4th Guard Brigade are something that no one can erase."

  Zhang Bo tried his best to hold back his emotions and spoke in an orderly manner.

  "That's right, we firmly believe that all officers and men of the Fourth Guard Division have fulfilled their duties. We have always persisted in the most dangerous places and fought the most dangerous battles. Our sacrifices can be seen throughout the Federation. Perhaps our names will never be known to anyone, but our achievements will last as long as heaven and earth."

  "On the contrary, some of our troops, when brother units encounter difficulties, are slow to respond and do not move, watching as brother units suffer heavy losses. Moreover, they even make unfounded accusations against brother units that have made great sacrifices and contributions."

  Behind Zhang Bo, Lin Fei followed with sharp words.

  Compared to He Zibo's veiled words, Lin Fei's words were much more direct and sharp. His spearhead was no longer a general statement, but pointed directly at a specific person - Zheng Dongming.

  "You're talking nonsense! As expected, Zheng Dongming's face changed instantly."

  He had no idea that two sergeants from the Burma military base would dare to speak ill of the 114th Division in front of him, and he, a lieutenant colonel, was so worthless in front of these two sergeants. The other side not only showed no respect, but also contained anger. It felt like he had already been treated as an enemy.

  In fact, Lin Fei's innermost thoughts did regard Zheng Dongming as an enemy. Xia Xingxiao and Li Yuzhi were the same. They also regarded the officers and men of the 114th Division as enemies. Even when they were emotionally agitated, they felt that those sons of bitches in the 114th Division were more despicable than the cruel desert bandits.

  Strictly speaking, Xia Xingxiao's feelings are more superficial, and his hatred for Zheng Dongming is only limited to personal grievances. After all, he is a new recruit and does not have a deep understanding of the previous battles of Ai Yexing. Li Yuzhi and others, on the other hand, are old soldiers who have been through many years. In short, there is no deepest resentment towards the 114th Division, only deeper ones.

  "Am I talking nonsense? Hehe, I'd like to ask, from the position of defense, your 114th division defending Luo Suo City and the 112th division defending Bai Lu City, which one is closer to Ai Ye Xing? If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't it be Luo Suo City that's closer? But why is it that every time, the first ones to arrive on the battlefield are always people from the 112th division?"

  "Haha, don't tell me that you people from the 114th division are all brain-damaged, with dull brains and slow reactions, so you need more time to prepare. That's why you're always the last ones to arrive on the battlefield. If you admit to being brain-damaged, then we have nothing to say. So, are you brain-damaged?"

  This time, the one who sarcastically retorted was surprisingly Li Yuzhi. Moreover, his tone and pitch were even more piercing and biting than Lin Fei's earlier. Normally, Li Yuzhi wouldn't speak like this. This time, he was indeed infuriated.

  To put it bluntly, Li Yuzi and others had been harboring resentment towards the 114th Division all along, but had no outlet to vent their frustrations. Now, the other side was actually reversing black and white, accusing them of being weak in battle with the Fourth Guard Brigade. This made Li Yuzi and his men even more unbearable. Even if Li Yuzi was a good-natured person who didn't want to offend anyone, he couldn't hold it in at this point.

  Grass, isn't our 4th Garrison Division's combat strength good? How many Sand Bandits have we killed? How many Sand Crabs have we killed? How many Poisonous Scorpions have we killed? Just a little while ago, just the nine of us, we killed over a thousand Sand Bandits! Under the heavens, is there any achievement more glorious than this?

  Paralyzed, I knew it was the 114th Division's people who fell, and they didn't even bother to come out and rescue them! Since the 114th Division's people are so capable, let them handle everything themselves. If they die, it serves them right!
