Age of Rebirth

The Battle of Degang was unresolved. The new commander of the Japanese Central Army, Major General Nakazawa, was insidious and cunning. He sent in a company of the first brigade to encircle but not attack. Then, the commander of the first brigade did not consider Liu Hongzhang rashly threw in a battalion plus two companies, but the result was the same.

Chu Ziye, the brigade commander of the sixth brigade who was in charge of this direction with the first brigade, persuaded the brigade commander Liu Hongzhang a few words, but unexpectedly, it led to Liu Hongzhang's anger. Chu Ziye and Liu Hongzhang, who were not to be outdone, They quarreled on the spot.

When Tang Qiuli rushed to the entrance of the canyon, he heard loud and loud quarrels from a long distance away. At that time, his anger surged up. More than 40 minutes had passed. You, Liu Hongzhang, did not actively think of a solution. Arguing leisurely, and in front of so many subordinates, a typical arrogant soldier.

As soon as Tang Qiuli uttered these words, Liu Hongzhang and Chu Ziye felt a cold war in their hearts. They couldn't even hear the movement of the teacher. They might as well shoot themselves in the head. It was a big movement. Then the flags and drums were silenced, and the two of them stood at attention and saluted together, "Teacher!"

Tang Qiuli didn't return the salute, and didn't say a word. He just looked at the blushing brigade commanders with cold eyes. The kind of coercion made him fight the Japanese for seven or eight years. The two generals in the big scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood couldn't help trembling in their calves, their hearts were agitated, and they avoided Tang Qiuli's menacing gaze.

Not bad eyeballs watched for 2 minutes, until the foreheads of the two brigade commanders were covered with sweat, Tang Qiuli asked: "Liu Hongzhang, what is the situation?" Liu Hongzhang Not daring to hide it, he told the story, but before he finished, Tang Qiuli said angrily: "Stupid, as a senior commander, you actually made such a low-level mistake. Didn't you, Liu Hongzhang, The battle went so well, huh?"

In front of so many subordinates, Tang Qiuli lost his temper with a senior commander for the first time, and the harsh words made Liu Hongzhang so ashamed that he wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Chu Ziye saw the old man With this look on the friend's face, he bit the bullet, took a step forward, and said, "Master, you can't blame Brigadier Liu for all of this. I was also there at the time, and I was anxious for whoever was replaced!"

Tang Qiuli took a look at Chu Ziye, and continued to say coldly: "Okay, you Chu Ziye is very loyal, so if it were you, you would do the same? You would even invest more troops in it? A high-level commander, if you make a mistake, thousands of soldiers will die in vain, the gold stars on your shoulders are not the capital of your arbitrary sacrifice of ordinary soldiers!"

These words were serious enough. Chu Ziye shrank his neck, and the sweat dripped down Liu Hongzhang's face. Tang Qiuli did not intend to just let it go. Today's incident, seemingly accidental, revealed the Many senior generals of the Corps have some unnoticed shortcomings and problems deep in their hearts. As Tang Qiuli himself said, in the past few years, the independent division troops have won every battle. They fought too smoothly and developed arrogance. Arrogant traits.

He went on to say: "Zhao Xinfeng's company fell into the siege of the Japanese army. It was a sudden accident, and the troops you sent in after Liu Hongzhang were the result of your arrogance, I am the best in the world, and you don't use your brain. Zhao Xinfeng Company commander, you have reported the situation truthfully, and you, Liu Hongzhang, as the brigade commander, should be alert enough to make a correct judgment."

Taking a breath and saying so much in one breath, Tang Qiuli felt that the anger in his heart not only did not dissipate, but burned up more and more. The Battle of Degang seemed to be a victory, and this part of the Japanese army was just lingering, but The hidden crisis made him uneasy. Tang Qiuli would never give up on saving more than 1000 soldiers surrounded by the Japanese army.

Let him use the grand reason of abandoning the local area for the sake of the overall situation, disregarding the lives of more than 1000 soldiers, and carry out a devastating shelling of the canyon. No matter how many Japanese troops there are, they are all dead souls under the dense rain. Can he do it?The answer is obvious, he absolutely can't do it, otherwise, this matter will torture him for the rest of his life.

Without using the heavy weapons that occupy an absolute advantage, it will not be over in a short time to deal with the remaining Japanese troops in the canyon, but can Ito give himself "Xu Tuzhi" time? More than 30 elite Japanese troops rushed towards Degang like wolves. The purpose of launching the Battle of Degang was to end the battle as quickly as possible before the main Japanese army in Ito arrived.

Then, I will look for an opportunity to fight the main force of the Japanese army, but the current situation obviously violates my original plan. In order to eliminate this Japanese army and let the more than 1000 soldiers surrounded in the canyon stand out, we must ensure that there is plenty of time In this way, the Changfeng troops and Yu Guanghan's flanking troops that did not need to stop the Japanese army had to re-implement the original combat plan.

Two troops.It is necessary to resolutely hold back Ito's main Japanese army, not to mention increasing unnecessary casualties, but also adversely affecting the follow-up combat plan, but Liu Hongzhang and Chu Ziye actually quarreled here, making precious How could Tang Qiuli not be so angry that he wasted more than 40 minutes of his time.

Speaking of which, Liu Hongzhang and Chu Ziye were already drenched in sweat. Chu Ziye was better, but Liu Hongzhang was so uncomfortable that he was about to pass out. After fighting for seven or eight years, he never gave up. The teacher reprimanded him like this, and to be honest, he doesn't have a good idea in his heart now, otherwise, he wouldn't impulsively quarrel with Chu Ziye, he was anxious!Surrounded by little devils are his brothers.

Liu Hongzhang admitted that the commander said that he had lost his mind. Whether he underestimated the enemy or advanced aggressively, he did not pay attention to the defeated Japanese army. "Master, the mistake was made by me, the brigade commander. Afterwards, I will lead my brigade, and I will definitely rescue the troops and wipe out this cunning little devil," Liu Hongzhang begged with a full face after saying these words.

Tang Qiuli still looked coldly at the two brigade commanders who stood upright, and then said: "One hour, rescue the troops? Eliminate the remaining Japanese troops? Liu Hongzhang, let me ask you, what specific combat plan do you have? How to solve this problem without the use of heavy artillery and rocket launchers, have you calculated how many casualties the troops will suffer? None, why do you promise me that this problem will be solved after an hour?"

Liu Hongzhang was dumbfounded. He really didn't think about it in such detail. He just thought that if the whole brigade was involved, there would be no result?When asked by the teacher, he immediately knew that he was impatient again. Before he could speak, Tang Qiuli continued: "It seems that you, the brigade commander, are incompetent. I announce that Liu Hongzhang will be dismissed. For the post of brigade commander, Ren Zhaoquan, the chief of staff, will act as the brigade commander, and Chu Ziye will be removed from the position of brigade commander, and he will act as the brigade commander. As for you, Liu Hongzhang, you can go to the staff office to be an ordinary staff officer!"

Neither Liu Hongzhang, nor Chu Ziye, nor the chief of staff Yang Ketian, nor the Shanhu who followed, including the two brigade chiefs of staff, could have imagined that the division commander would be punished so severely. Yang Ketian wanted to remind Tang Qiuli, The battle is not over yet, changing generals just before the battle is a big taboo for military strategists, but seeing the face of the teacher, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

After dealing with the two brigade commanders, Tang Qiuli turned his head and said to Chen Feng, Director of Communications: "Director Chen, report to Chang Feng and Yu Guanghan immediately, the previous order is revoked, and your department will continue to implement the original blocking plan However, the time to hold back the main force of Ito’s Japanese army will be more than 48 hours. According to this time limit, report your battle plan to the division commander.”

After saying these words, Tang Qiuli sighed imperceptibly. After this order is issued, Chang Feng, who is in charge of blocking missions, and Yu Guanghan, who is in charge of flanking missions, will be under great pressure. What they are facing is not A flock of sheep, but more than 30 tiger and wolf divisions armed to the teeth, murderous, and vigorous, who have just solved more than [-] British people.

Turning around to leave, he turned around and saw two major generals who looked like wooden stakes. They were funny and irritating, and said to Liu Hongzhang: "Come with me, Staff Officer Liu, and you Chu Ziye, use your brains, what should we do in this battle?" Fight, come back and report the battle plan!" [

Chief of Staff Yang Ketian grinned, he is a colonel, yes, now there is an additional major general staff officer, and he is also the commander of the main field brigade, who is known as the most violent in the Independent Division. It's lively.

Liu Hongzhang drooped his head and followed Tang Qiuli dejectedly. Ren Zhaoquan chased after him. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Hongzhang kept winking at him. After Tang Qiu left, Chu Ziye breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his face.

Said to Ren Zhaoquan: "My god, I have been with the division commander for five or six years. This is the first time I see him lose his temper. Seeing the division commander's angry posture, I am really worried that I will send Lao Liu to the military law office. Quan, you will take responsibility first. After a few days, the teacher's anger will subside, and Lao Liu will still be reinstated. We have to discuss it carefully. How to fight this battle? Otherwise, the teacher will not be able to pass the test, no Have you seen such a cunning little devil! Has he become a god?"

Tang Qiuli returned to the headquarters and said to Chen Feng, "I need to contact Chutian immediately, and ask about the special warfare units operating near Degang, so that all nearby special warfare units can report to the division as soon as possible. important combat mission."

"Order Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group to take off all fighter planes and immediately join the battlefield in northern Myanmar, bombing all bridges and passes on the road from Mengmi to Degang, and cooperate with the blocking troops to prevent the main force of the Japanese army from advancing northward." , to ensure a smooth end to the Battle of Degang.”

Because of the unexpected situation on the Degang battlefield, Tang Qiuli had to come up with the next battle plan in advance. Chief Yang Ketian, "Ketian, Deputy Master Tang from Xin Bo's direction, do you have any telegram?"
