Age of Rebirth

Both Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up, and Zhao Yuhe said with a smile, "Commander Tian, ​​don't be fooled, and tell me what you think!"

Tian Shangxi scratched his head and said: "The idea is not very mature, and it is only for the reference of the division commander and the chief of staff. This is how I think about it. It is basically the local people's advantage to form a number of officers and soldiers of the Guangzhou Garrison. The squad, before the launch of the Hong Kong campaign, sneaked into Hong Kong a few days in advance to serve as internal support, and then the internal response and the external cooperation, even if the little devils want to stick to Hong Kong, they can't let them!"

"There is another more favorable condition. Our fighters, many of whom are relatives, are all in Hong Kong, which is more conducive to concealing their identities. I made a rough estimate. It is not a problem to send 6000 to 100 people. Hong Kong has more than [-] million people. , more than a few thousand people, just like a drop of water in the sea, inconspicuous! It will not attract the attention of the little devil, but I haven't thought about how to sneak in!"

Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe looked at each other and smiled, Tang Qiuli said: "Shang Xi, your idea is exactly what I want to implement, let me tell you, I have ordered the special operations detachment to secretly transfer all members to Guangzhou, that is, You plan to sneak into Hong Kong ahead of time, by the way, Shang Xi, when your troops are training, you must not disturb the Japanese army in Hong Kong, once the Japanese army is aware of it, our difficulties will increase a lot!"

"I think that the troops that have been assembled will be scattered to various places for secret training. Also, the formation of small teams can be trained with them after the special operations detachment arrives. Experts, how can there be such a suitable teacher! The specific infiltration time and method will be determined according to the situation, and the troops should be trained first!" [

Major revisions were made to the Hong Kong campaign plan. After leaving the meeting room, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe as he walked, "Yuhe, you know that our division didn't form field corps. Was it the original quick response brigade?"

Zhao Yuhe replied precisely: "I know the division commander. The Rapid Response Brigade of the Independent Division was established after the Battle of Tianjin. The first brigade commander was Liu Feng, and the deputy brigade commander was Qu Jingjiang. The chief of staff was Wang Mancang. Its predecessor was the Independent Division There are six detachments of the Tianjin Urban Combat Team of the division. The brigade has four regiments under its jurisdiction, with more than [-] soldiers. Now, the brigade belongs to the Sulu Mobile Corps. The designation is the second brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps. Liao Zhenbang, former brigade commander Liu Feng, was transferred to the post of Chief of Staff of the Pingjin Garrison.”

Tang Qiuli jokingly said: "That's right, Yuhe. He has been the chief of staff for less than a few months, and he knows the family background of our independent division like the back of his hand!"

Zhao Yuhe didn't hear the commander's joke, and was thinking of another question, "Master, do you plan to transfer this brigade to Guangzhou as the main attacking force to attack Hong Kong?"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "That's right. The old background of this brigade is that they are familiar with urban warfare. Most of the officers and soldiers are locals in Tianjin and know the way in the city. Although Tianjin and Hong Kong are one One is in the north and the other is in the south, but it’s not much different, the troops only need a little restorative training, and they can go to the battlefield immediately! Yuhe, where is Liao Zhenbang’s brigade stationed now?”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Stationed in Bangkok. Tactical training for landing on the island is in progress!"

Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, immediately give Liao Zhenbang an order that the brigade immediately change the current training method and switch to urban street warfare, with Bangkok as the training base, and is required to complete the urban combat training within one month. All subjects, when the time comes, I will personally host the acceptance ceremony!"

Zhao Yuhe nodded his head and reminded, "Commander, the strength of Liao Zhenbang's brigade alone is still not enough to form an advantage over the Japanese army in Hong Kong! Do we need to mobilize other troops?"

Tang Qiuli said: "This is the second order I want to issue. The first brigade Liu Hongzhang, the fourth brigade Chu Ziye, and the tenth brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps participated in the attack on Yangon. Wang Yi's military department and No.11 brigade Zhao Shoushan's department will immediately use the resident city as a base to conduct targeted training in urban combat tactics and tactics. Similarly, I will personally inspect and accept the training results of these four brigades!"

"Yuhe, report my order to Deputy Division Commander Tang. He knows it well. We have five main field brigades with more than 4 troops, plus the [-] regiments of the Guangzhou Garrison with more than [-] troops." The total strength of the troops is more than twice that of the Japanese army in Hong Kong. Even if you bite your teeth, you can still gnaw Hong Kong down! Also, order the logistics department to equip the field troops of the five brigades participating in the Hong Kong campaign in large quantities with recoil guns and rocket launchers , to reach the scale of equipping a company for each battalion, and equipping a squad for each company!"

Zhao Yuhe asked puzzledly: "Master, why do you need to replace the equipment of the troops? The troops already have so many heavy weapons, do they still need recoil guns and rocket launchers?"

Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth and said, "Yuhe, we don't want to smash Hong Kong to pieces. The heavy equipment is useless, but the Japanese army must have built a large number of barricades in Hong Kong. We can't let the soldiers Throw your life away, use the explosives to blow up, and recoil guns and bazookas are the best weapons to deal with the Japanese barricades, without artillery, they can also knock open the Japanese turtle shells!"

The two were discussing, Tian Shangxi rushed over from behind and said: "Master, Chief of Staff, it's already noon, I asked the cafeteria to prepare meals, let's finish the meal here!"

Tang Qiuli laughed, and said jokingly: "Shangxi, you have been the official of parents in Guangzhou for more than two years. I remember that you are from Hebei. Why, the taste follows the habits of Guangzhou people. It is also a kind of fresh seafood. Category?"

Tian Shangxi said happily: "Master, let alone, I am really used to the food style in Guangzhou, but I remember your taste, sir, there happens to be a cook from the Northeast in our headquarters cooking team, don't worry , it is guaranteed to be an authentic Northeast dish, and there is also hand-caught mutton!"

Because Chutian's injury is stable, and the deployment of the Hong Kong campaign has been basically confirmed, Tang Qiuli, who was in a good mood, couldn't help twitching his index finger when he heard that he had his favorite mutton, and hurriedly urged, "Then hurry up, you Speaking of which, I'm really hungry, and I haven't had a serious meal since yesterday!" After speaking, he strode toward the cafeteria regardless of the two of them.

Zhao Yu and He Tian Shangxi glanced at each other, both laughed loudly, and quickened their pace to catch up. Only at this time, did they see that the commander who commanded more than 100 million horses showed his youthful side. Of course, the two of them They are only happy, seeing their teachers happy is their greatest comfort!

The canteen of the Guangzhou Garrison Headquarters is the same as the canteens of all levels of independent division headquarters. It is a spacious room with rows of dining tables. It is neat and clean. There are no tall rooms or elegant seats at all. Tang Qiuli did not allow the officers to be divided into grades, grades, grades, or ranks. Whether it was the second lieutenant officer or the major general commander Tian Shangxi, I'm sorry, everyone ate in the same restaurant.

Tang Qiuli ate this meal really heartily and happily. When eating mutton with his hands, he simply discarded his chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves, and ate it directly with his hands, making his mouth full of oil. I couldn't see it, so I reminded in a low voice: "Master, pay attention to your image, you are the highest-ranking officer here, and everyone is looking at you!" [

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli said eloquently: "Dining is all about feasting, so I am most annoyed by the western food, which is pretentious, not to mention it's not good, but the cumbersome etiquette alone can turn people away. The troublesome thing is that you will be full if you don’t eat. Eating Western food is the Chinese’s own sin. Grab the mutton with your hands. As the name suggests, you can eat it with your hands! Can't get that smell!"

This table of diners is definitely a unique scene in the cafeteria. The command officers who came to eat looked at the table curiously while eating. The general who gorged himself had four gold stars on his shoulders. , and look at the two major generals accompanying him, including our Commander Tian, ​​with a respectful expression on his face, this general must be a big shot!

Tang Qiuli ate to his heart's content, and left with a look of enjoyment, leaving behind a glorious image of a four-star general gobbling his food, which became a topic of private discussion among the officers of the Guangzhou Garrison within a few days. Years later, everyone knew that that person was the highest officer of the independent division, a legendary figure, and the division commander, General Tang Qiuli.

Immediately, the original impression of the officers was overturned, and the mysterious halo that shrouded Tang Qiuli's head completely faded away. He changed from an idol on the altar to an ordinary soldier, but he gave people a sense of intimacy with flesh and blood. I am not far from the division commander. If Tang Qiuli knew, there would be such a big chain reaction just because of one meal, which would change the officers' view of him. I guess if he was killed, he would not do it again. It's a shocking move, I would rather hide in my room and feast on it!

After eating, he took a good night's sleep again. When he woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. He took Zhao Yuhe and drove to Shanhu's place. I saw Shanhu lecturing loudly there, but the special forces members who listened to his lecturing were more than 50 people from Chutian's team.

Seeing Tang Qiuli approaching, Shan Hu and the newly promoted Chief of Staff of the Special Warfare Detachment, Lieutenant Colonel Qi Hanzhi, hurried over. Shan Hu stood at attention solemnly, "Reporting to the division commander, Huang Shanhu, the acting detachment leader of the Special Warfare Detachment, welcome to inspect the division commander, please Commander's instructions!"

Seeing Shan Hu's serious appearance, Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing, chatted briefly with Shan Hu and Qi Hanzhi, and learned that the two detachments of the Special Operations Detachment who were transferred to Guangzhou took the plane and arrived at ten o'clock tonight. It will arrive in Guangzhou in about [-] minutes, and the other teams will arrive one after another. It will take about five days for all to be assembled.
