Age of Rebirth

Chapter [-] This is a crime

Near dusk, the sun was setting, and the smell of gunpowder smoke pervading the battlefield was gradually blown away by the wind, and the sound of guns and guns could no longer be heard. Shanhu drove a jeep, drove quickly to Tang Qiuli, and jumped off the mountain. Hu, seeing Liu Xinlan behind Tang Qiuli, was taken aback. He naturally recognized him. In a trance, Shan Hu also had an illusion, thinking it was Xiao Ling. However, Shan Hu's surprise was only a momentary thing. , looked at Liu Xinlan with complicated eyes.

In front of Tang Qiuli, "Master, the attacking Japanese army has been repelled. I sent a unit of the guard brigade to follow and pursue them. I will never let these little devils go." Tang Qiuli frowned and said: "Huzi, the strength of the Japanese army is a squadron. Is the force you sent a little less, so you don't want to be surrounded by the Japanese army?" Shan Hu grinned and said, "Don't worry, just a while ago, at least killed * *Ten little devils, one of my teams has nearly 200 people, how many little devils can't be dealt with?"

Tang Qiuli thought about it, too, with the combat power of the guard brigade, there should be no problem in chasing the retreating Japanese troops with less than 100 people. Otherwise, the guard brigade should be replaced. Shanhu's tone was a little low, and he said: "Our There were almost no casualties in the army, but the guard platoon had the most casualties, and there were some casualties among the students of the military academy, and the instructors they lead are still waiting for you to lecture them!"

Tang Qiuli's face was so gloomy that water dripped out. He stepped onto Shanhu's jeep and was about to order to drive when he saw Liu Xinlan standing there pitifully. He didn't know what to do. He pondered for a while and said, "Second Lieutenant Liu , you should go back to the team too, just in time, we are going there, let’s go in the car together," Liu Xinlan did not hesitate, and sat side by side with Tang Qiuli in the back seat, as if consciously, Liu Xinlan moved her body a little, away from Tang Qiuli a little Tang Qiuli didn't notice Liu Xinlan's tiny movement. [

The students of the military academy had already lined up, waiting for the supreme officer to arrive neatly and solemnly. Before getting out of the jeep, Tang Qiuli saw that there was a row of dead bodies of students in front of the queue. There should be more than 20 dead bodies. , His heart suddenly ached violently, the pain made him tremble. These students who have received more than two years of military school education are reserve officers of the independent division, which one is not the future commander, but today, they died here like this .

It was not an emergency, but a human negligence. The Guangzhou Military Academy Branch, in the routine enemy situation report, should be very clear that a large number of small Japanese troops have infiltrated in the rear of Burma recently. The rear is already another area. In a battlefield, the dean of the Guangzhou Branch only sent a platoon of troops to escort more than 300 students who had not been trained in actual combat. This was serious dereliction of duty, and this was the main reason why Tang Qiuli was very angry.

A colonel ran over quickly, stood at attention and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the chief instructor of the Guangzhou Branch, Colonel Li Hanmin, report to the teacher, all the students have lined up, please give instructions to the teacher!" Tang Qiuli returned the salute, Staring at Li Hanmin, he asked, "Mr. Li, I just want to ask you one thing. How many students were injured?"

The muscles on Li Hanmin's face twitched, and he replied in a low tone: "Report to the commander, 26 people were killed and 130 people were injured, of which 52 people were seriously injured. The report is over." Tang Qiuli said coldly: "The casualties exceeded More than half," Li Hanmin's head lowered, at this moment, Liu Xinlan slipped out of the car, and hurried back to her team regardless of the students' surprised gazes.

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli's voice suddenly increased, even a little sharply, "As the old saying goes, dying before leaving the army will always make the heroes burst into tears. These are the students who died, the true portrayal of the future officers of our independent division, 26 people were killed in battle, two years of military school education, and even a single Japanese invader was not killed, so I sacrificed on the land of Burma, I am heartbroken! Very heartbroken!"

"The reason for today's heavy casualties is not on you. I also saw the situation of the battle just now. All of you alive are doing well. However, during the course of the battle, how many Japanese troops have you wiped out?" Soldiers, how many shots have you made yourself? How many students can you have who can fully describe the process of the battle?"

Li Hanmin raised his head suddenly and said loudly: "Teacher, in today's battle, the performance of the students is not satisfactory. The responsibility lies with us instructors. Please punish them!" Five or six instructors stepped out of the queue together, Tang Qiu Li shook her head, and said in a slow voice: "I'm not blaming you, I just feel sorry for you!"

"Instructor Li, let me ask you another question. When these students set off for the Burmese battlefield, did the senior management of your branch consider that the escort troops sent were too small to deal with emergencies, such as Like today?" Li Hanmin hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Reporting to the teacher, our instructor team has raised such a question. The small Japanese army went deep into the rear of our army to attack and harass. Any situation will happen, and at least one brigade is required to be dispatched. troops to escort these students, but the school did not accept it.”

Tang Qiuli sneered and said: "The soldiers of our independent division, as members of the Chinese Communist Party, are not afraid of death, but such sacrifices are worthless, especially when sacrificed in the dereliction of duty of those officials. It should be a crime. Well, the student brigade will rest at the same place tonight. Soon, a company of soldiers will come to protect them. Also, after these students arrive at the front line, they will be assigned as soon as possible according to their respective majors. To each unit, this matter, Chief Instructor Li, you can go to Deputy Commander Tang and ask him to arrange this matter."

After the cadets were dismissed, Tang Qiuli called Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff, and said: "Immediately issue an order to the dean of the Frontier Military Academy, General Jiang Baili, and the dean and vice-president of the Guangzhou Branch, to be dismissed on the spot and sent to the Military Law Office. I suggest that the post of dean of the Guangzhou Branch should be held by Chief Instructor Li Hanmin, and in addition, the General Academy should send capable personnel to rectify the Guangzhou Branch.”

Then, he called Chen Feng, the director of communications, and said: "Order, Chutian's special warfare detachment, immediately focus on the surrounding areas of Libao, Mogok, and Myitkyina, and wipe out the small Japanese infiltration troops. The Lu Mobile Corps and the No.20 Ninth Corps mobilized all the reconnaissance troops to participate in the operation to eliminate the small Japanese army. All the troops were under the unified command of the special operations detachment leader Chu Tian. After one month, I don’t want to hear this anymore According to the news from the outside world, I ordered a regiment of troops to be transferred from the regiment directly under it to be responsible for the safety of the students along the way, such a thing like today is absolutely not allowed to happen again!"

Tang Qiuli hated these small groups of Japanese troops that had infiltrated, especially seeing the casualties today. These Japanese troops must be wiped out as quickly as possible, and Ito Hikosaburo's idea of ​​experimenting with new tactics should be killed. Otherwise, once Ito tastes the sweetness, he will send more infiltration troops to disrupt my rear.

Tang Qiuli absolutely believed that once this new tactic of the Japanese army achieved the results Ito expected, what would this cunning guy do? He was familiar with the theory of guerrilla warfare, but Ito took the lead and used himself as a test field. Thinking about it, Tang Qiuli's heart was in a panic. Another fundamental factor was that he didn't want to see today's scene happen again.

Especially at the moment when Liu Xinlan was in danger, really, he didn't want this girl who was like Xiaoling reborn and disturbed his mind to have any accidents, Tang Qiuli shook his head, wondering why he suddenly thought of her ?Although deep in his heart, he subconsciously rejects her, but every time, Liu Xinlan vividly comes to mind.

At this time, Liu Xinlan was being tortured by her female companions. More than a dozen beautiful female officers blocked her in the tent and asked her to explain why she came back in the same car with the division commander. Among them, What kind of story happened?These girls, deep in their hearts, have a heart of worship for Tang Qiuli, a legendary existence, and they don't have any extravagant expectations.

The teacher is too far away from me. Today, being able to listen to his speech with my own ears has already made these quasi-military officers very excited. They can go back and talk about showing off to the seniors, senior sisters, juniors, and juniors. This is the first time. An experience that can be obtained but not sought after, not everyone is so lucky to hear the teacher's speech.

But Liu Xinlan took a step closer, and actually shared the car with the teacher, which made people surprised. They are both young and rejuvenated. The fear and tension of fighting during the day have long since disappeared. The gossip mentality of girls prompted them to ask what happened. I don't believe what Liu Xinlan said, it was just a coincidence, Liu Xinlan looked at the excited and expectant female companions, she could only smile wryly, isn't it, all this is really a coincidence, but her heart is deep At the same time, I kept asking myself, is all this just a pure coincidence?

Because the guards did not arrive, it is impossible for Tang Qiuli's guards to leave here and continue to march towards Myitkyina, leaving the students who have almost no combat capabilities here. Tang Qiuli can't do it no matter what. Knowing that I have become a group of youthful and glowing female officers, the center of the discussion, and a girl, with complicated moods, reminiscing about everything that happened today.

Tang Qiuli was facing a large Burmese military map, looking at it with gusto. Even the mountain tiger came in without noticing that the war situation in Burma seemed to be in a stalemate, but in fact, it was like a frozen river. The undercurrent is surging, and Ito is desperately recovering his vitality, which shows that although he has planted a few thorns among the Americans and Japanese. [

The Japanese high-ranking officials still set themselves as the primary combat target. It will take some effort for the Americans and Japanese to completely tear their faces and fight. Tang Qiuli had a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth. Ito, don't beat him to death, drive this wolf to the south, and get closer to the cunning American fox, can you not fight?
