Age of Rebirth

On the night when the access to the Libao Grand Canyon was opened, Lieutenant General Feng Jiwu, commander of the Eastern Front Combat Group of the Independent Division and commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, drove through mine pits and gravel. There are piles of Libao Grand Canyon, go to the northern foot of the canyon to meet the teacher Tang Qiuli.

Originally, Tang Qiuli was going to Mandalay to meet with the commanders of the two corps, but Feng Jiwu said nothing. The landmines that were not cleared, happened to be met by the boss of the independent division, and the consequences were absolutely disastrous. Tang Qiu wanted to leave Mogok for Mandalay without the second clearing by the engineering troops.

In order to welcome the arrival of Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang, Tang Qiuli brought more than a dozen special guards, and together with the mountain tiger, they hunted a lot of wild game. Not to mention, there are so many wild animals in the mountains and forests in central Myanmar. They are all good hands. In less than an hour, six hares and a dozen pheasants were lying in the trunk of the jeep.

Originally, a team member who joined the special guard in Guangxi suggested that there are many wild monkeys in the mountains, so it is better to get a few. According to the special guard, monkey meat is a rare delicacy, but Tang Qiuli refused without hesitation. And there is a tendency to nausea on the spot. Although Tang Shao is a carnivorous animal and does not like meat every meal, he still keeps a respectful distance from these humanoid animals. As for eating their meat, his whole body is covered with goose bumps.

Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang crowded together in a military jeep, bumping on the road of the Libao Grand Canyon. Looking at the dangerous terrain, Feng Jiwu secretly clicked his tongue. Such terrain conditions have extremely high military value. Putting himself in the situation, he thought, Take out any brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps and block it here, even if the Japanese army has 10,000+ people.It would take a few months to break through this line of defense, and it would be difficult to do so.The casualties paid will be incalculable. [

In all fairness, Feng Jiwu had a little objection to the division commander's strategic deployment. Since the three main corps of the independent division were concentrated on the front line of Mogok, both in terms of strength and heavy weapons, they were several times more than the Japanese troops under Ito's command.It shouldn't be difficult to break through the Japanese defense line. Why did the Eastern Front Group travel thousands of miles from the east of the Indochina Peninsula to stab Mandalay in the rear?

It is a waste of time to look far away, this is Feng Jiwu's evaluation of the teacher's order.Of course, he will absolutely carry out the order without hesitation, now.Seeing the terrain conditions of the Libao Grand Canyon, Feng Jiwu broke out in a cold sweat secretly because of his own ideas. If he followed his own ideas, even with the use of aviation, he would forcibly break through the Japanese defense line. The cost of tens of thousands of casualties is simply impossible.

After leaving the northern foot of the Libao Grand Canyon, the eyes suddenly opened up.In the dark of night, one tent after another is neatly arranged on Pingdi and the hillside, and the little lights complement each other with the stars in the sky. If it weren't for the tanks and military vehicles that "rumble" past from time to time, it would be really amazing.This is a picnic camp.

At the exit of the canyon, there were several jeeps. Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang's convoy had just arrived, and a burly figure as tall as a mountain greeted them. With the help of the light, Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang saw at a glance that it was a mountain tiger, and their hearts felt hot. Shan Hu's status in the independent division and its weight in the eyes of the division commander, from the commander of the independent division to the commander of the corps, down to ordinary soldiers, I don't know which one.

Shan Hu stood at attention and saluted, "Deputy Commander Feng, Commander Ma, and Captain Huang Shanhu of the Division Security Brigade, under the command of the division commander, come to welcome you two." Feng Jiwu hastily returned the salute, then punched Shan Hu, smiling Said: "Captain Huang, you still play with me," Shan Hu said: "This is the rule," the two laughed, Ma Chaoyang's military rank is the same as Shan Hu's, both are major generals, in terms of seniority, there is no Old Shan Hu, how dare he accept Shan Hu's salute, somewhat uncomfortable.

In the spacious tent, the lights were brightly lit, and the tables were already filled with hot and delicious game, all of which were packed in large military lunch boxes. There's no need to make it so delicate, it's just comfortable to eat meat," Liu Xinlan and several female officers were busy setting the table while chirping and laughing.

Seeing a group of people approaching from a distance, Tang Qiuli stood up and left the tent. Behind him were deputy commander Tang Qiusheng, chief of staff Chang Feng, commander of the 29th Corps Li Honggang, chief of communications Chen Feng, chief of staff Yang Ketian and other senior generals. Thinking about it, I haven't seen Feng Jiwu for about a few months. When Feng Jiwu approached, Tang Qiuli grabbed him before he could salute.

Said: "Jiwu, Ma Chaoyang, you have worked hard. The torrential rain that lasted for several weeks was enough for you. I was outside Mandalay City and watched Ito lead the defeated soldiers to run south. I ordered Don't let me do anything, I feel aggrieved enough! Today, I specially use wild game to entertain the two commanders of the Eastern Front Combat Group, please take a seat!"

Feng Jiwu smiled impressively, enough is enough, the commander's words expressed the hardships of the two corps of the Eastern Front Combat Group in the past few months. The soldiers who were swallowed by the flood of the Salween River rushed to Mande Le, seeing the little devil running under the nose, but not letting him do it, Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang couldn't help feeling a little bit of resentment in their hearts. They understood the teacher's strategy in Southeast Asia and knew that they should start from the overall situation.

But it is not difficult to cut off a large piece of meat from the Japanese army retreating south. With the strength of the Eastern Front Combat Group, as long as he wants to, Feng Jiwu can keep Ito and his more than 20 troops in Manchester. Dele, eating a few bites, does not require the main force to cross the Libao Grand Canyon. As for Mandalay City, it is like something in the bag, and it can be obtained at any time.

Feng Jiwu smiled and said: "Since the teacher has said so, what else can I do, I can't argue with you?" Everyone laughed, Li Honggang said, "Deputy teacher Feng, don't feel wronged, say Wake up, the fate of our 29th Corps is not good. The division commander transferred us to Burma in such a hurry. As a result, a tough battle was not fought. We wanted to catch up with the battle in the Baodwin mining area while it was hot. Then we thought that we lost our shoes. As soon as we arrived at the place, Deputy Commander Tang had already finished eating, and didn't save a single bite for our 29th Corps!"

Ma Chaoyang was not as relaxed as Feng Jiwu, and hurriedly stood at attention and said: "Master, this is what we should do. As soldiers, it is our duty to obey orders, and follow orders in all actions!" Feng Jiwu looked at Ma Chaoyang, mockingly. The interface said: "Listening to what Commander Ma said, I, Feng Jiwu, don't obey orders much?" Ma Chaoyang waved his hands and shook his head anxiously.

The expressions of the two caused everyone to burst into laughter. The happy air permeated the simple tent, except for Liu Tiehan who was far in the northeast, Sun Zhenbang who guarded Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuquan and Han Tie from the navy, Le Yiqin and Except for Liu Cuigang, Yuan Jinghao from the Beijing-Tianjin area, and Jiang Yanming from the Songhu area, all the commanders of the main corps of the Independent Division gathered together. It seems that only when Tang Qiuli went to Outer Mongolia did the Independent Division gather so much in Beiping Complete, in a blink of an eye, several years have passed.

During the years of war and war, it is rare to get together. When old friends meet, they are all soldiers. The topic of discussion is naturally inseparable from war. Tang Qiuli also guessed this. After everyone was seated, he solemnly announced, "Today is just reminiscing about the old days, not talking about business, and celebrating the smooth progress of the Burma campaign in advance. If anyone turns this into a discussion field, I will be punished for drinking. By the way, Liu Xinlan, you are in charge of supervising them, talking about the military. , three glasses of wine!"

Liu Xinlan was not mentally prepared at all. Speaking of which, whoever present here is a general who is powerful and commanding tens of thousands of troops, can it be her turn to supervise the young second lieutenant?The tent was full of stars, Liu Xinlan and several female officers were already dazzled, a little at a loss, Tang Qiuli said something abruptly, like she didn't know what to do.

The eyes of the generals turned to Liu Xinlan. Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang had never seen Liu Xinlan, but they had seen Xiaoling, and they were very familiar with each other. Their bodies shook, and they were all surprised when they looked at her. The figure appeared vividly in front of him again, overlapping with this pretty female officer, Feng Jiwu turned to look at Tang Qiuli.

Eyes full of shock and disbelief, he asked, "Teacher, who is she?" Tang Qiuli also realized that his proposal just now was too reckless. For some reason, he said these words naturally. I, with a self-conscious smile, concealed the flash of pain in my heart, and replied: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my confidential staff officer, Second Lieutenant Liu Xinlan, an intern at the Guangzhou Military Academy."

He also half-jokingly said: "Second Lieutenant Liu is very loyal to his duties. I invited them to drink yesterday, and I was criticized a bit. I use her to supervise the wine, and everyone makes the best of their talents." Under the surprised eyes of Li Honggang and Feng Jiwu, Liu Xinlan His face was red and hot, his head was lowered almost to the towering twin peaks, and he didn't know what to say.

Yang Ketian hurriedly made a siege, "Master, you have given orders, that one dares to violate the rules, Second Lieutenant Liu, you go to rest first." Liu Xinlan escaped from the tent as if she had been pardoned. I could hear my heart beating wildly and stroked my hot cheeks, but I still haven't gotten rid of the strange feeling just now. [

The two generals, looking at their own eyes, are clearly very familiar, but they are very surprised, as if they should not appear here, why do they have such expressions? Could it be that they have their hidden secrets on their bodies? , and this secret is related to Tang Qiuli, looking at the night sky full of stars, Liu Xinlan said to herself: "What has something to do with me?"

At this time, Liu Xinlan's heart was as chaotic as stars, and hearty laughter came from the tent behind her.
