Age of Rebirth

After heavy snow blocked the mountains and shattered the winter offensive of the Kwantung Army, all the troops withdrew to the base to rest and reorganize.

It was the end of [-], and there was still a year and a half before the "July [-] Incident" in history, when Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China began. The reason why Tang Qiuli chose to enter the customs in the spring of [-] was because In order for the troops to adapt to the customs and terrain conditions of North China in advance.

After Qiuquan escorted Leidi to the United States, he quickly returned to China and went directly to Huangyadong in the Taihang Mountains. Before the Southward Team arrived, he rushed to Huangyadong and took over the overall work there. Taking charge of the overall situation in that place, Tang Qiuli was much more at ease.

There are too many preparations to be done. First of all, the thoughts of commanders and soldiers at all levels have changed. Everyone has a hometown complex. Leaving the familiar homeland has an indescribable feeling in my heart, especially step by step away from home. , Looking at the familiar scenery, gradually going away, a sense of loss will arise spontaneously. If this emotion is not resolved, the morale of the army will fluctuate, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the army, and even drag down an army. [

With a large army of more than 3 people, there were too many things to do, and Zhou Yushan, who was in the luggage department, was even more busy. Except for weapons, medicines, and various supplies, although the southward corps took away most of them, only the remaining The things he put down are enough for him to tidy up for a while. After all, the Blood Hands have more property in three or four years than some warlords have in their entire lives.

Tang Qiuli put all his energy into the ideological work of the soldiers. If the problems in the hearts of the soldiers were not resolved, what they would bring out was a team without combat effectiveness. For this reason, he filled his time very much. I have to talk to many people every day, especially some cadres at the squadron leader and brigade leader level.

He forced himself to get busy and fully devote himself to his work. He could forget a lot of the past. He thought he had overcome it. He missed Xiaoling deeply, but not yet. When he had a little leisure time, he would unconsciously recall it. Every bit of memory with Xiaoling, the more I think about it, the more painful my heart is, and the pain is hard to extricate myself from.

During this period, the troops going south have successfully reached the new base Huangyadong, because it was originally the territory of the bandit Liu Heiqi. Once Liu Heiqi died, it became a vacuum zone, and the local forces of the government had not had time to reach out there. , which created good development opportunities for the troops.

The establishment of base areas is the specialty of Li Honggang and other members of the Communist Party of China, and they quickly opened up the situation in the local area. At this time, the Red Army of the Communist Party of China is still on the way of the Long March, facing the harsh natural environment and the millions of chasing soldiers of Chairman Jiang. fight.

All of this was carried out with the acquiescence of the local government of the Kuomintang. The reason was that in order to block the communist bandits, they raised supplies on the spot and stood up for the follow-up troops. Weird thing.

In a few months, the army has recruited nearly [-] new recruits for training in Huangyadong. Tang Qiuli is very satisfied with Liu Tiehan and his work. Liu Tiehan and Li Honggang are also wise not to ask about Xiaoling things.

Tang Qiuli knew in his heart that these old fellows did not want to cause his sad past, so he was very grateful for their care and understanding.

As the end of the new year approaches, heavy snow falls for several days in succession, covering the vast land of Kanto with snow and ice for thousands of miles. The troops stopped all major military operations against the devils, and only dispatched special operations detachments, divided into several The unit carried out uninterrupted attacks and harassment on the devil's garrison.

Tang Qiuli's order to them was that no matter what means and methods were adopted, on the premise of preserving themselves, as long as they could make the devils feel unsafe and sleepless, all teams should return to the team before the end of April. Pay attention to which army of the devils the wounded and the escorting troops encountered on the bank of the Huangni River, and where they are stationed. As soon as there is news, report it immediately.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, all the preparations for the army have been completed. The thoughts of all the cadres and soldiers have been highly unified. They have a new understanding of entering the customs and fighting against the little devils. Fly to the command post.

Compared with the fiery mood of the army, Tang Qiuli was more taciturn during this period of time, just staring at the map blankly when he had nothing to do, and sometimes staying out of the house for a whole day, Shanhu and these guards were afraid The commander was bored with illness, so he tried different ways to make delicious food for him. The delicious food that used to be absolutely lethal to Tang Qiuli had no effect on him at all.

Shanhu and the others had no choice but to invite Qiusheng over. Maybe, the commander's cousin, could he persuade him?I don't know what the two brothers were chatting about, and they didn't leave the room for the whole afternoon. Anyway, since Qiu Sheng came here once, the commander's mood has obviously improved.

A few days ago when I was young, a telegram was sent to Tang Qiuli. After reading the telegram, the guards were surprised to find that the commander's face was flushed with a drunken blush, and his whole body seemed to be burning. The long-lost passion returned to him, and his eyes shone brightly.

He loudly ordered the communicator to inform all units, cadres above the captain, to go to the war room for a meeting, immediately!

Seeing the commander's hurried back disappearing into the lush greenery, the guards looked at each other in blank dismay. What kind of power allowed the commander to restore his former firepower?

It was a telegram about the information about the devil brigade that met Xiaoling and the others by the Huangni River, the chief culprit who made him lose his love forever, caused more than 100 brave warriors to scatter blood on the hot soil, and did not leave on the land of Kanto. When they erased it, Tang Qiuli would never be able to make himself feel at ease, let alone forgive himself.

This group of devils belong to the Jinjiang Brigade of the Kwantung Army's East Manchurian Military Control Area. Throughout the Battle of Baishishan, all the participating troops of the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses, and there were many reductions in soldiers and equipment.

Only this Ono brigade, because of its meritorious service in annihilating the bloody hand regiment near the Huangni River, was commended by the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro. The devils in this brigade are very arrogant. In order to celebrate the so-called great victory, they are searching for various materials in the nearby area and preparing to hold a celebration party. [

Three days later at night, the world was in chaos under heavy snow, and the howling north wind muffled all sounds. An army quietly surrounded Taipingling Town.

Tang Qiuli led the troops and finally arrived here after a few days of rapid march. The heavy snow covered the troops' whereabouts and brought great difficulties to the troops. Fortunately, these soldiers had undergone strict training. In addition to the mobilization before the war, as soon as they heard that they were going to avenge the sacrificed comrades, especially Dean Zhang, the soldiers' emotions immediately rose, and they all screamed. After the combat team got in touch, the troops took cover outside the town.

This time, Tang Qiuli brought two brigades, more than 5000 people, plus more than 500 people directly under the guard and the special warfare unit, with a total strength of nearly 6000 people, and more than 2000 people to deal with the little devils, forming an absolute superior force. The firepower was more than ten times that of the devils. Tang Qiuli wanted to kill these enemies with a sledgehammer.

Because recently, the Bloody Hands had no major military operations. In the Northeast, the devils and the anti-Japanese armed forces in various places were in a relative stalemate.

Smoke and heavy snow, mixed with cold wind, made the streets of this small town empty, and several lights were shining. Along with the cold wind, frantic shouts in Japanese came out. It was the resident devils, drinking there for fun.

The troops sneaked into the town, and several devils who were on guard were quietly killed by the special warfare unit. Tang Qiuli led the guards directly to the entrance of the devil brigade. Two devil sentries at the door, wrapped in coats, shrank their heads to avoid Facing the cold wind and heavy snow, the severe cold almost made their blood coagulate, and they only hoped to change the guard soon so that they could enjoy the warmth of the quilt.

There was a chill on the neck, and the bone-piercing cold spread all over the body. It came from the inside of the body, and the cold that made life disappear. The blood of the devil quickly froze into red ice lumps. gesture.

The battle started here first in Tang Qiuli. The whole town was awakened by the sound of gunshots and explosions. The orange flames bloomed coquettishly in the flying snowflakes, recklessly harvesting the lives of unsuspecting devils. Wearing a loincloth Bu ran out of the house in a panic, ignoring the cold devils, and soon became a stiff corpse.

It took just over two hours for the battle to end, and some of the devils who broke out were also wiped out by the peripheral troops. Of the more than 2000 devils, only dozens of wounded prisoners remained, and the rest became angry. The prey of the soldiers, the troops had no intention of catching the devils alive. When they came up, they came up with a burst of mortars and grenades, blasting the devils' garrison into ruins.

Xiao Ye, the captain of the devil group, was very lucky. When Tang Qiuli attacked the group headquarters, he narrowly escaped the locust-like grenade attack, but his left ear was sliced ​​off, and he was crushed under the corpses of several staff officers and guards, and fell into a coma. .

When he woke up from the coma, the severe pain almost made him dizzy, but what made him lose his mind even more was that a group of militants surrounded a young man, looking at him coldly, with eyes that could not be suppressed hatred.

Ono is a Bushido spirit, an armed officer of the Imperial Japanese Army, not afraid of death, howling, wielding a command knife with both hands, instinctively chose that young man as his target of battle.

A cold mockery flashed from the corner of the young man's mouth, and the big man beside him swooped forward. Ono's command knife flew into the sky, and the elbow joint of his left arm was punched to pieces. The severe pain made Ono unconscious again.
