Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli and the others did not choose to go ashore in Dalian this time, and the land route was full of dangers. Yuan Jinghao's four detachments had already attracted the mobile encirclement and suppression troops of the Kwantung Army, more than [-] people, to the Changbai Mountain area. , In the Changbai Mountains, the intelligence from the base showed that Nanjiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, had mobilized more troops to encircle them.

Under such circumstances, Tang Qiuli had no time to return to the base. He landed at Yingkou, took the nearest road, and rushed to the Changbai Mountain area to join the four detachments, so that the troops could get rid of the heavy encirclement of the Kwantung Army. The troops have not encountered difficulties for the time being, which reassures him a lot.

In the early autumn of the Kanto mountains, autumn has become stronger. The frosty leaves all over the mountains are shining mottled golden yellow under the sunlight, and the air is filled with the fragrance of pine leaves. In the cave where they camped, the guards have already Put a few hunted hares and pheasants on the blazing bonfire, and grill them up. After a while, the strong smell of meat fills every corner of the small cave.

In the depths of the cave, the operator was nervously sending and receiving telegrams. Since camping began, the radio station had never stopped contacting the base and the four teams. There was a tense atmosphere in the air. What Tang Qiuli was most worried about happened. . [

After the four detachments attracted the attention of the devils, according to the plan, they should quickly get rid of the enemy and immediately withdraw to the base. There was a regiment of devils, among all the chasing troops of the four detachments of Yuan Jinghao, the lone army stood out, and pulled the main force of the devils behind. Keep a distance and hold on tight.

Yuan Jinghao's hands were itchy for a moment. This was a piece of fat that was brought to his mouth. If he didn't eat him, he would feel sorry. Compared with the devil's military force, it was three to one, and the firepower was not in the same weight class. It would not be too late to leave after eating. Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff of the Fourth Detachment, reminded him, is this a bait released by the devils?The battle plan needs to be reported to the commander, and the troops can only be deployed after approval!

Yuan Jinghao really wanted to fight this battle. He missed the great opportunity for nothing. He couldn't forgive himself. The commander can't be contacted now. If the devil's follow-up troops catch up, he will lose the good opportunity to wipe out the enemy. In a flash, he adopted the method of reporting the battle plan while deploying troops.

In fact, Yuan Jinghao did not fail to consider this point. The few generals under Tang Qiuli's command were not fuel-efficient lamps. The key is that this piece of fat is too attractive. There is no lack of elimination of devils, but they are all piecemeal, and there is no organized alliance to eliminate devils. Now the opportunity is rare.

Yuan Jinghao was also very cautious. He dispatched a large number of reconnaissance troops. After finding out that there was no large army of devils nearby, he made up his mind to fight this battle. The precedent of the field wing as bait.

According to Yuan Jinghao's deployment, the four detachments were suddenly hit head-on by the devils from a regiment that was chasing after them, and then, with swift movements, around [-] devils were tightly surrounded in the Baishi Mountain area between Jilin and Dunhua.

Because Tang Qiu was on the march from them, the radio was not turned on, and it was already evening when he received Yuan Jinghao's battle plan. In the campsite, the battle at Baishi Mountain had already started. After turning on the phone, the first telegram was Yuan Jinghao and Zhao Yuhe. Sent jointly.

After Tang Qiuli read the telegram, he was vaguely worried that the heavy army of the devils was not far away from the four detachments, and there was no suspense in this battle. With the fighting power of the four detachments, it would not be a problem to wipe out the devils in one regiment. It is whether the four detachments can quickly resolve the battle, leave the battlefield and return safely before the main force of the devils surrounds them.

At this time, if he ordered the four squadrons to withdraw from the battle decisively, even though he did not wipe out all the devils in one regiment, he would still inflict heavy damage on them and achieve the goal of getting rid of the devils' tailing. He called again to ask if he had found a large army of devils , signs appearing around your ministry?Is the devil unit closest to your department getting reinforcements?

The four detachments replied that everything was normal. The troops were attacking the core positions of the devils, trying to wipe out these devils before dawn. After receiving an affirmative answer, he was relieved and would not let the four detachments fight this battle. In Yuan Jinghao's heart, There will be negative emotions, and it will also have a negative impact on all fighters of the four teams.

He ate something casually, and he lay down with his clothes on. Before going to bed, Tang Qiuli ordered the radio operator to keep in touch with the fourth team at any time, and to wake him up in time no matter what the situation was. He rubbed his head, a faint fragrance came, and his heart was peaceful. He didn't sleep well, and he always felt that there was something erratic, which made him a little restless, and the sound of intense guns was faintly ringing in his ears.

In the early morning, he was woken up, covered with Xiaoling's clothes, and Xiaoling was holding a telegram. Seeing the nervous expression on Xiaoling's face, he felt nervous, took the telegram, and the message was as follows: "Command Commander, our unit had wiped out a regiment of the Kwantung Army three or ten minutes ago, totaling more than 10 people, and our unit had more than [-] casualties. After the troops cleaned up the battlefield, they were about to evacuate when a large number of devils suddenly appeared on both wings. The reconnaissance troops report that each is a division with a total strength of more than [-] troops. They seem to have the intention to encircle our troops. Relying on the strong terrain, the troops are fighting step by step, covering alternately, gradually withdrawing from the battlefield, and have become stalemate with the incoming enemy. , Fierce battles broke out across the board!"

Tang Qiuli's head "boomed", and the most unexpected situation still appeared. He jumped up suddenly, his emotions were very agitated, and his consciousness temporarily blanked out. The shoulders, the clear eyes, let his thinking return to normal.

The situation is not too bad, at least the four detachments have not been fully surrounded, the most dangerous thing now is that the troops cannot get rid of the entanglement of devils that are several times larger than themselves. The final retreat was blocked, and the fate of the four detachments was to be completely wiped out. The supreme commander of the Kwantung Army who could surround or completely wipe out a main detachment of the Blood Hand Regiment would definitely spare no expense.

The radio operator hastily sent another telegram, "Commander, our troops are withdrawing from the Baishishan battlefield to get rid of the enemy encircled by the two wings. At the eastern foot of Baishi Mountain, we will establish a solid line of defense. The position launched an attack, the battle was fierce, and our department suffered heavy casualties. Considering that the retreat target during the day is obvious, which is especially not good for me, we will look for an opportunity to evacuate at night. Please advise whether this plan is appropriate. Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff of the Hand Corps Headquarters."

"Yuan and Zhao and all the officers and soldiers of the four detachments, this arrangement is very appropriate. Your department is fighting alone now. The reinforcements from the base cannot arrive as soon as possible. I hope that we will carry forward the fighting spirit of our bloody hands and fight the enemy bravely. Be sure to stop it The enemy is in the existing position, so don't leave the battlefield during the daytime. In addition, send some troops to break out of the direction of your troops. One is for vigilance, and the other is for reconnaissance. Pay close attention to the movements of the enemy behind you. I will rush there as quickly as possible. You!"

Not long after Tang Qiuli sent the telegram, the four detachments immediately called back: "Commander, please think twice! The situation on the battlefield is still stalemate, and the Japanese army is attacking more and more fiercely. As the supreme commander of the troops, you must not put yourself in danger. , All the soldiers of the four detachments will be able to evacuate safely, the commander does not need to worry, please return to the base as soon as possible, and wait for the good news of the victory of the four detachments, this is also the common wish of all the soldiers of our four detachments!"

After Tang Qiuli finished reading the telegram, he became more determined to meet with the fourth team. He knew very well that Yuan Jinghao was not a person who complained easily. He was determined not to let himself go to the battlefield. It's not good, otherwise, Yuan Jinghao wouldn't have such a violent reaction.

There are more than 1 people, facing more than 4 devils, and they are still fighting head-to-head battles. The four teams must be fighting very hard. The movement of the devils around is unknown. Where is the Kwantung Army mobile encirclement and suppression force with more than [-] people? It's not like the smoke from Baishi Mountain is billowing, they are sleeping, right? [

He immediately asked the intelligence center of the base about the movement of the Devil Mobile Corps. As expected, all the devils were marching urgently to encircle the Baishi Mountain area. The base was very anxious when they heard this situation. They both strongly opposed the commander rushing to the Baishishan battlefield, where it was too dangerous, and strongly urged the commander to return to the base and command the Baishishan battle.

He sent a telegram back to the base with only one sentence: "As the commander, how can you retreat in the face of battle!" The telegram to the four detachments was: "Quickly tell the exact location of the detachment headquarters, and I will arrive at your department before evening to give specific command to break through the encirclement." !"

When Tang Qiuli arrived at the eastern foot of Baishi Mountain, the headquarters of the fourth detachment, the sun was still high in the western sky, and there were still more than four hours before it got dark. gunpowder.

He jumped off the sweaty horse, and the strong horse finally couldn't bear the long-distance gallop and fell down. In the detachment headquarters, Yuan Jinghao and Zhao Yuhe were already waiting for him.

Seeing the commander, Yuan Jinghao bowed his head deeply, Zhao Yuhe was also full of shame, Tang Qiuli smiled and patted both of them on the shoulders, now is not the time to hold anyone accountable, besides, this battle is also his own. Agreed, as for the unexpected situation that occurred later, it is not the responsibility of that person.

He immediately asked Yuan Jinghao and Zhao Yuhe to understand the situation. What he was most concerned about was how the two Kwantung Army divisions that appeared on the two wings of the fourth division suddenly appeared on the battlefield without the eyes of the fourth division's reconnaissance troops.

Yuan Jinghao and Zhao Yuhe were also full of doubts. Before starting this battle, they had already arranged many reconnaissance troops. Within one night's distance from the battlefield, there was no devil army. That's why they made up their minds to fight this battle. .

A cannon shot roared and landed near the command post, shaking the soil on the roof of the shelter and falling straight down. The command post of the four detachments was set up on a high hill, where one could overlook the entire battlefield.
