Age of Rebirth

Facing Tang Qiuli who was sitting there withered, Shanhu really didn't know how to tell him the truth of the matter, even if there was a little clue, it would be a kind of comfort to Xiaoqiu.

Seeing Shan Hu and the others come back, Tang Qiuli's eyes like dry wells suddenly lit up with light of hope. He looked at Shan Hu expectantly, his face full of eager hope. Naihe blamed himself, the ignited light dimmed instantly, like a shooting star across the sky.

Shanhu was shocked to see that in just a few days, Tang Qiuli's black hair, flowing like ink, had silver threads flashing, and the white hair covered his temples and forehead, with black and white spots all over his head. , startling.

Shanhu's tears could no longer be controlled. At that moment, his heart was in severe pain like a knife. Xiaoqiu is not yet 20 years old!What is white hair all night, he shook Tang Qiuli's shoulders violently, Tang Qiuli raised his eyes, "Tiger, is there any?" He asked unwillingly. [

The mountain tiger shook its head, and there was silence all around, only the wind blowing over the treetops, singing in a tireless low voice, and the soldiers could not suppress their low sobs.

Information came from the base, and it was found that none of the units of the Kwantung Army had captured even a single soldier from the Bloody Hands, let alone a female soldier. This meant that no one knew Xiaoling's whereabouts. The commander of the bloody hand regiment, the bloody hand Qiuli who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, his fiancée, the girl who grew up in the Greater Khingan Mountains of Kanto, Zhang Xiaoling and the child in her belly, mysteriously disappeared.

There is no clue left, only a lot of guesswork, and the pain of the person who loves him deeply, that eternal life can't heal and forget.

A new grave was erected by the river at the bottom of the valley. There was no tombstone outside. That monument was already deeply engraved in his heart. There was nothing in the tomb, but it was filled with the most important memory in Tang Qiuli's life. More than 1000 days and nights, all the bits and pieces were buried in the Kanto land with the wind. This unknown place was treasured in the most holy corner of his heart.

Tang Qiuli cut off a strand of mottled hair and buried it in the empty tomb. This is the place where his lover and children disappeared. He was afraid that their mother and daughter would be lonely, lonely, and afraid, so he buried his thoughts here.

A few days later, all the senior commanders of the Bloody Hands who stayed at the base rushed here. At this time, Tang Qiuli had just transplanted wild flowers and birch trees in front of the grave, and was sitting in front of the grave, muttering : "There are beauties in the north, who are left alone and independent. When you look at the city of Qingren, then you look at the country of Qingren, but you don't know the city and the country. Beautiful women are hard to come by!"

The voice was like weeping, and everyone's throats were choked up, and their blood was churning. They heard Tang Qiuli's deep sorrow and pain from the heart, and saw his strands of white hair. The people present were all older than Tang Qiuli, but in their memory, they had never met anyone who was so sad when they missed someone, and their white hair concealed their beauty.

Yuan Jinghao and Zhao Yuhe were even more weeping. On the other hand, Xiaoling's disappearance was directly related to them, so their inner self-blame could hardly be expressed in words, especially when they saw The commander, who is not yet 20 years old, has gray hair.

After staying here for two days, Tang Qiuli followed everyone back to the base. Before leaving, he stood quietly in front of the grave, saying words that no one could hear clearly, and gradually drifted away. Tang Qiuli clearly felt that his heart, Being torn apart suddenly, half of his life has been left in this unknown mountain valley.

After returning to the base, everyone thought that the commander's will would be depressed for a while, so they consciously shared Tang Qiuli's business, tried not to disturb him as much as possible, and let his mood slowly change over time. He recovered from the pain of losing his lover and child. Originally, the base was already preparing for their wedding celebration, and everyone planned to take advantage of this celebration to have a good time. In the past few years, the army has won many great victories.

Unexpectedly, when this bad news came, the entire team knew their relationship. The commanders at all levels told the soldiers below not to mention anything about President Zhang in front of the commander. , closed confinement for three days.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Tang Qiuli would preside over the work normally, but his words were much less, and his eyes were firmer than that, but inadvertently, the sadness that was too thick to dissolve flashed faintly, that elegant, free and easy, full of sunshine Big boy, never to be seen again.

On his face and body, there was a kind of toughness, and a sense of vicissitudes and maturity that was not commensurate with his age. He moved out of the room where he had lived with Xiaoling for four years, and moved to the headquarters. Is afraid of where to live alone.

In the past four years, he has gotten used to the girls around him. Here, he feels that every space is Xiaoling's shadow, every frown and smile, and several lingering nights, when he wakes up in the middle of the night, there are long tears With a full face, he tried his best to find a few long hairs left by Xiao Ling on the bed, which was a part of her life and still had her body fragrance.

Tang Qiu put Xiaoling's long hair in a thoughtful sachet, keeping the house as it was and completely sealing it off. This is a restricted area, and no one is allowed to enter.

The autumn wind was picking up and the weather was getting colder. After a few days of confrontation with the local Kuomintang cavalry security regiment at Langwogou, the troops going south, the other security regiments nearby moved upon hearing the wind and intercepted as many troops as a brigade. According to reconnaissance, behind these security groups, there are shadows of local powerful factions.

At this time, Liu Tiehan had already sent someone to get the warrant written by Song Zheyuan, chairman of the North China Political Affairs Committee. The warrant read: "There is a Northeast Volunteer Army unit, following the order of Chairman Jiang of the state, to go south to wipe out the Communist bandits. The governments of all regions will provide food supplies at any time. Do not obstruct or make things difficult, and offenders will be punished without mercy!" It was also stamped with the seal of the North China Political Affairs Committee and Song Zheyuan's autograph.

Who would have thought that this warrant would not work well with these security groups. It seems that these security groups, which are no different from bandits, have taken a fancy to the family of the Bloody Hands.

In the eyes of these security regiments, the southbound corps is just a piece of fat and oily fresh meat, with vehicles and horses, a lot of boxes, cabinets and machines, and many female soldiers, but there are not many escort troops, only 800 to [-] people. Before they could eat it in one bite, these guys, with red eyes and drooling, had already started discussing a plan to divide the spoils. [

In fact, they did not see the full strength of the escorting troops of the Southward Corps. Liu Tiehan concealed Liu Chun's cavalry detachment and a brigade of infantry on the flanks of the logistics troops to ensure the safety of both sides of the logistics troops.

Liu Tiehan called the commander to ask for instructions on how to deal with this matter. The troops have been confronted with the security team for more than ten days. The weather has turned cold and the troops are camping in the wilderness. The conditions are very difficult. He really can't make up his mind because Tang Qiuli is leaving Before that, he repeatedly urged that there must be no conflict with any Kuomintang troops.

The request telegram was sent to Tang Qiuli, and all the anger accumulated in his heart erupted in an instant. He called Liu Tiehan back: "Deputy Commander Liu, solve it by force. You don't need to keep your hands in this battle. The captured horses are just right for you." The cavalry detachment is used to expand the army, and the prisoners with good composition can be organized into a recruit brigade, and the rest will be shot on the spot, so as not to leave any future troubles.

After sending the telegram, Tang Qiuli was still cursing angrily: "The security team like bandits dare to bully me! You want to die!"

With this order, Liu Tiehan felt relieved and fought. In less than four hours, a brigade and several Kuomintang local security regiments with more than 9000 people were all wiped out. One person slipped through the net and more than 6000 people were killed on the spot. , more than 2000 people were captured, and the local security regiment like these bandits was vulnerable to the troops of the Bloody Hands.

After screening and selection, more than 1000 people with relatively good composition and physical conditions were organized into a recruit brigade, and the remaining hundreds of bloody, stubborn, stubborn officers and soldiers were shot by a burst of machine guns. up.

In this battle, the bloody hand regiment went south to the main team, with more than [-] casualties. At such a small price, nearly [-] horses were seized and a large amount of military supplies. The rest were similar to poker sticks. Some rifles had no rifling, and some rifles had no bolt at all.

After the battle ended, the coveted local power factions quickly dismissed their thoughts. The troops cooperated very well wherever they went. Now they have joined up with the support troops staying at Huangyadong and will soon enter the Taihang Mountains.

In the blink of an eye, winter came, and the land of Kanto was covered with pure white snowflakes. It was another season full of snowflakes. The troops had not made any major moves. On the one hand, it was because Tang Qiuli had not recovered to his best condition, and on the other hand, there was no Find the fighter.

After the last Battle of Shiraishi Mountain, Nanjiro became more cautious. When he failed to find the main force of the Bloody Hands, he gathered the troops who encircled and suppressed the Bloody Hands together, formed a heavy army group, and marched to the area controlled by the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces , Encircled and suppressed the Anti-Union Forces, called the "Winter Offensive".

Especially in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountains, fierce battles broke out everywhere. In order to eliminate more devils and relieve the pressure on the Anti-Union Forces, Tang Qiuli sent multiple troops, with the brigade as the unit, taking advantage of the entanglement between the Japanese army and the Anti-Union Forces. , the opportunity to defend the emptiness in the rear, attack from multiple directions, hit the superior forces, frequently attack and capture the Kwantung Army's rear bases and small towns, and ambush the Kwantung Army's logistics transport team.

The devils who beat the Kwantung Army endlessly, cold, hungry, and lacking clothes had to withdraw most of their troops from the battlefield to deal with the troops of the Bloody Hands and the danger of the Anti-Union troops. For this reason, General Yang Jingyu specially sent Tang Qiuli a warm thank you telegram.

When the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, mobilized his troops and was ready to fight against the Bloody Hands, his opponent mysteriously disappeared again and disappeared, which made the devil's frontline commander very angry. Nanjiro had a headache and had no choice but to hate The Kwantung Army's so-called "Winter Offensive" lost troops and lost troops, with little gain, and declared bankruptcy.
