Age of Rebirth

Chapter [-] Oppression step by step

The night wind blew through the treetops, making a low-pitched sound. In Tang Qiuli's mind, this military map was transformed into a three-dimensional picture. How to carry out a proper attack on the Japanese army under Ito's troops was a careful and complicated task. The plan and the specific details still need to be perfected. Tang Qiuli roughly sketched an outline in his mind.

After watching for a while, I felt my head was a little swollen, shaking my dizzy head, Liu Xinlan's figure suddenly popped up vividly in my heart, "Hey, why did I suddenly think of her, it has nothing to do with it at all," There was a momentary loss of consciousness, Tang Qiuli laughed at himself, turned around, and saw Shanhu standing in the shadow of the horse lights, looking at him with a half-smile.

Tang Qiuli's nerves relaxed, and he asked: "Huzi, when did you come in? I don't feel it at all. Your kung fu is getting better and better!" Shanhu smiled and said: "It's been a while since I came in, look Where are you staring at the map, I didn’t bother you, by the way, I specially added double guards and lurking posts for the female students’ residence, now, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Tang Qiuli smiled resignedly, and said, "Huzi, it's your duty to be responsible for the safety of the students in the Military Academy, right? Why is it related to the issue of whether I worry about it or not?" Shanhu suppressed his smile and said, "Little Qiu, we have been friends since we were young, we are closer than brothers, I know what's on your mind, if you have any thoughts, just tell that girl, it's better than keeping it in your heart." [

When Shanhu said these words, there seemed to be something flickering in his eyes. He knew Tang Qiuli and Xiaoling too well, and he knew the parting relationship between them too well. It can be said that Shanhu is Tang Qiuli. The witness of the entire relationship between Qiuli and Xiaoling, he also hopes that his brother can heal that unforgettable pain, although it is difficult, but the girl who looks like Xiaoling is Shanhu's hope .

For some reason, Tang Qiuli was afraid to talk about Liu Xinlan. Thinking of her figure, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, so he quickly changed the subject, "Huzi, when did you change your job as a matchmaker? This is still the majestic Huang Da Captain? By the way, is there any news about the troops sent out to chase down the small Japanese army?"

Seeing Tang Qiuli deliberately avoiding this question, Shan Hunai smiled and replied: "An hour ago, the first guard unit sent back a telegram, chasing this Japanese army, they have reached the border area of ​​India and Burma, according to their telegram , This is a small well-trained Japanese army, all of them are veterans, and their individual skills are very skilled. Moreover, they are not as brave and cunning as ordinary Japanese soldiers. They even killed a small number of them. Those soldiers in the detachment are not vegetarians either."

Tang Qiuli nodded. He believed what Shan Hu said. With the individual quality and combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the guard brigade, this Japanese army would never escape. I also have some psychological preparations," Shan Hu went out, and only Tang Qiuli was left in the tent, and the flickering lights stretched and distorted his figure, just like his mood at the moment.

Outside the tent, the night wind blew through the deep forest, making the night even more lonely. The entire camp was already pitch black, but this little light illuminated the world. Tang Qiuli lay on the camp bed with his clothes on, tossing and turning I can't sleep because I have thoughts about the future war situation in Myanmar, and I can't let go of it in my heart.

That night, he didn't sleep well, tossing and turning, everything about Xiao Ling filled his dreams, and he didn't fall asleep until a faint light appeared in the eastern sky. A loud noise woke him up. The morning sun, Through the small area of ​​the tent, a ray of light was thrown into his space, and he got up and got out of bed, his head somewhat confused.

It came overnight, and the troops protecting the students arrived. The soldiers were jumping out of the car to form a team. The soldiers of the special guards and the students of the military academy were doing morning exercises. The repeated voices of passwords made this morning full of vigor and vitality. Rhythm, take a deep breath, mixed with the fragrance of the air in the mountains and forests of northern Myanmar, Tang Qiuli's mood immediately refreshed.

A colonel officer ran over quickly, stood in front of Tang Qiuli, and stood at attention to salute, "Report to the division commander, the division is directly under the second regiment of the third brigade of the Corps, and has been ordered to arrive. Please give instructions to the division commander. The regiment commander Lu Dashan," Tang Qiuli returned the salute , looking with admiration at this young leader who is only in his 30s and exudes a vigorous spirit.

After a night of marching, there was no sign of fatigue on Lu Dashan's face. Tang Qiuli asked: "Regimental Commander Lu, has the Chief of Staff given you the task?" Lu Dashan replied loudly: "Yes, Commander , at any cost, to ensure the safety of the trainees until they reach the Mogok frontline headquarters."

Tang Qiuli nodded, and said: "Commander Lu, the burden is not light. The small group of Japanese troops are constantly harassing, and there is still a thousand kilometers away from Mogok. There may be accidents at any time, so you must Be careful, don't be careless, see if you see it, those are the future hopes of our independent teachers, baby, you must show me!"

As he said that, Tang Qiu was not far from him with a finger. The students of the Guangzhou Military Branch who were exercising suddenly seemed to have a gaze. It was just a vague feeling, but it made his heart move. Lu Dashan But he replied with a loud voice: "Teacher, please rest assured, the second regiment will definitely complete the task!" The voice was loud enough to attract almost all eyes. Just reassuring.

After breakfast, Tang Qiuli and the others set off ahead of the convoy of trainees and guards, and after a brief stay in Myitkyina, they arrived at the Mogok frontline headquarters in the evening of the second day. As soon as they got off the bus, Tang Qiusheng took Li Honggang waited for a few corps commanders to greet him. When he arrived at the headquarters, before Tang Qiuli could sit still, Tang Qiusheng said: "Master, the Japanese army on the opposite side has changed frequently, and it is estimated that Ito can't bear it anymore and wants to fight." Already!"

Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm worried about attacking the Japanese defense line in the Libao Grand Canyon. The casualties of the troops are too great. Since Ito wants to take the initiative to stretch out his claws, then chop him off and take Mande. Le, I guess, it should be the base camp of the Japanese army, who gave him the order to die, otherwise, with Ito's prudence and cunning, he would not have attacked in such a hasty manner. According to the normal replenishment speed of the Japanese army, Ito would take at least two months to recover. vitality."

Tang Qiusheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid Ito is having a headache at this moment, isn't he? Our troops concentrated in front of the Libao Grand Canyon are equivalent to his current strength. There are also Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang corps advancing from the east. The strength of the Japanese army is already more than double that of the Japanese army. In terms of heavy equipment, Ito does not have the advantage, not to mention the Japanese air force. He was beaten by Le Yiqin so much that he dared not even take off into the air. In this battle, Ito wanted to do his best. Son, then we will accompany you!"

It is no exaggeration for Tang Qiusheng to say these words. Compared with the independent division in the central Burma battlefield, the Japanese army has no advantage at all in terms of strength and weapons and equipment. The Japanese army was severely beaten by the independent division in the Battle of the Baldwin Mining Area. Psychologically, the Japanese army was even more at a disadvantage when competing for the morale of the troops.

If Ito relies on the frontal defense of the Ribao Grand Canyon and adopts a defensive position, he can still face off for a long time, but if he takes the initiative to attack, he will be asking for bad luck. This is not counting the two corps pressing from the flanks, no matter where the battlefield is. , For the Japanese army under Ito's troops, it was a catastrophe. If Tang Qiuli wanted to wipe out Ito's troops, it would not be difficult to do.

The point is, this battle, according to Tang Qiuli's plan, was not to wipe out Ito's Japanese army, but to beat Ito, scare him, and finally withdraw, let alone kill him. Li Ya, save this wolf to bite the Americans, so this battle is very particular. In fact, the generals of the independent division do not feel very comfortable with the division commander's style of play.

In principle, I completely agree, and I also understand the strategic concept of the teacher, and execute the order without compromise, but psychologically, I feel somewhat unsatisfactory. I could have been beaten to death with a stick, but I have to be careful, unhappy, quite unhappy, Tang Qiu Li also saw it, and said with a smile: "Is it because you are reluctant? Well, among you, the one who can let the Americans out of Luzon Island, I will give the task of killing Ito to that corps. I don't care how you beat me."

Everyone laughed, and after the laughter subsided, Tang Qiuli said solemnly: "Order, all troops confronting the Japanese army should immediately withdraw from Mogok to the front line of the Mengmi and Baldwin mining areas, and the Feng Jiwu Corps in the east Hema Chaoyang Corps, speed up the advance, and form a flank attack on Ito's Japanese troops from the east of Mandalay, we will make Ito confused." [

On the morning of October [-]rd, General Genzaburo Ito of the Japanese Army Headquarters in Mandalay was looking at the large military map hanging on the wall with a sad face. Lieutenant General Masaki Takemura, the new chief of staff transferred from the General , came in in a hurry, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I received a report from the defenders of the Libao Grand Canyon that last night, all the troops of the independent division that confronted us withdrew, and their whereabouts are unknown!"

Ito turned around sharply, and asked in a voiceless voice: "Hani? Tang Qiuli's troops withdrew from Mogok, whereabouts are unknown? Why?" Masaki Takemura shook his head. He couldn't answer the commander-in-chief's question, which also confused him. The imperial army was preparing to attack, but the enemy suddenly retreated, and they didn't know where they were going. What kind of tricks are the cunning Chinese people playing?

But Wucun thought that this was definitely a good opportunity, and he continued: "I have sent a small group of troops out of the Li defense line, and went deep into the Mogok area to find out the whereabouts of the independent division troops. In a few hours, there should be a report. Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, what do you think of the sudden withdrawal of the Independent Division troops?"
