"What are we doing?" A young Qin soldier, carrying a weapon, asked his comrades beside him nervously.
This assembly is completely different from the previous training, because bullets will not be given to them during training.
Now they were carrying rifles and weapons, and the only machine gun in the company headquarters was even carried out. The officers' faces were serious, and at first glance they looked different from usual.
Even before setting off, they received some food. This made them happy because they had not eaten so much food for a long time.
"I heard that we were going to the 3rd Regiment of the 210th Division. The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment were incited to rebel." The comrade heard about the rebellion of the 3rd Regiment from somewhere, and said confidently.
"Ah?" The young man glanced at his comrades in surprise. He really didn't expect that the first time he walked out of the barracks with a weapon was to beat his own people.
He couldn't believe it, but he sympathized with those who rebelled. They were starving before, and if he hadn't given them a bite to eat when they came out, they would probably be thinking about the rebellion now.
In other words, if they don't dare to rebel, they will scatter like birds and beasts. No one would do such a thing of risking their lives on an empty stomach.
"Then we are going to attack our own people?" the young soldier lowered his voice and asked his comrades beside him. He also knew that the question he asked was very sensitive, so he was very careful.
"I don't know either. What if... a fight breaks out? It depends on the situation." The comrade obviously didn't want to shoot his own people, so he replied hesitantly.
In fact, they didn't know what happened, and all the information was just hearsay. The only thing they knew was that they were pulled out of the barracks, bullets were distributed, and scary things like machine guns were carried.
"Brothers!" The officer standing on the side of the team finally spoke at this time. He pressed the pistol on his waist and shouted loudly: "Our food has been embezzled by the people above! If we continue to consume like this,
They will all starve to death!"
Hearing the officer's cry, everyone started talking. They had indeed eaten too little before, but now they knew that someone had embezzled their food.
"Death by starvation is death. We might as well go to those bastards and ask for an explanation! Even if His Majesty takes the blame, we are justified! Tell me, right?" The officer encouraged all the soldiers with a sideways voice, and some people in the crowd began to agree.
.
Obviously, this was planned. The officer's confidants were making noises in the crowd, and the atmosphere was quickly heightened.
"Stop beating your own people?" The young soldier still doesn't know what happened. He just wants to know if he will be given an extra piece of dry bread tomorrow.
Although it doesn't taste good, swallowing that piece of cake will indeed make you hungry. If you only drink watery rice porridge, you will die.
"I guess we still have to fight...but the people who fight are different." That comrade was more flexible and immediately realized that the unit they belonged to seemed to be rebelling.
Rebellion is a scary word. Their wives, children, family members, and elderly people are all in China. If something goes wrong, will their families be affected?
As he was thinking this, he heard the officer over there continue to shout: "There is no food in the division headquarters, so let's go to the military headquarters to find it! If there is no food in the military headquarters, let's go to General Chen and ask why he doesn't give us food!"
"We are not rebelling, we just want to survive and have enough to eat! We serve in the army for the country, and even if we risk our lives for the country, why should we be starved?" He said, pulling out the pistol from his waist.
Waving excitedly: "Brothers, are you right?"
"Yes!" Many people have already agreed with the officer's point of view: indeed, they came to serve as soldiers and even risked their lives, but they were not even given enough food to eat. This is too bullying.
For such a long time, they had been shrouded in fear of going to the battlefield, and now they were tortured by hunger. These soldiers were on the verge of breaking out. Now that they had a channel to vent, they immediately became boiling.
"We will kill anyone who doesn't give us a place to reason!" The officer cut his arm forward and ordered loudly: "Follow me! Go to the military headquarters!"
"Go to the military headquarters!" Almost everyone shouted, and the long team took action again. Not far away, another military camp had become a mess, with dozens of corpses lying on the ground.
Several trucks full of soldiers were staggering forward on the road. Farther away, another barracks had been set alight by rioting soldiers. Black smoke billowed into the sky, making the entire area look like a desert.
onto the battlefield.
And here is the area controlled by the Qin State, behind the front lines of both sides, and where the Tang army has not yet arrived! But here, a new war seems to have broken out.
The 93rd Army's garrison was in chaos. Qin's rebels attacked their own military headquarters. The commander of the 93rd Army was killed in his headquarters. His death was somewhat inexplicable.
Logically speaking, he had a chance to leave, but he didn't. Logically speaking, he should know a lot of things, but he just didn't have the chance to say it anymore.
As for whether anyone was fueling the chaos and trying to take the opportunity to cover up something, no one knows.
What happened next made Chen Li even more depressed. A mutiny eventually turned into a civil war between the Qin troops on the front line... Tens of thousands of people attacked each other, killing people and setting fires everywhere. The Qin State mobilized two nearby armies to
In the end, the rebels were completely suppressed.
But the whole process was really too bloody. The Qin army's own people beat their own people, and for a while they criticized each other as rebels. No one could tell who was the good guy. In the end, there were really countless casualties and rivers of blood.
Before the Tang army could attack, the Qin army itself suffered about 50,000 casualties, and on Chen Li's paper, these soldiers should all be "available recruits who have undergone good training."
Now, these active forces that Chen Li had high hopes for could replenish the front line and allow the army to reshape its skeleton. All the grassroots backbones have been "internally consumed" in this chaos.
After finally calming down the chaos, Chen Li completely lost his ability to control the war situation. He had to abandon Daxiguan at the end of February and retreated to Shahun, which was backed by the Qin border.
That's right, if Shahun falls again, then the Tang army on the northern front will invade the Qin mainland! What's even more desperate is that due to lack of preparation, Shahun's defenses have not been completed, and the Qin army has hoarded supplies at Daxiguan.
