Age of Rebirth

Chapter 220 Five Sneak Attack ([-])

This is a very long telegram. In the telegram, Generalissimo Jiang encouraged him and called him the leader of the country. It seems that Tang Qiuli's words of loyalty were very useful. The Secretary-General's investments have obviously paid off.

This old man must have a lot of good words. Chairman Jiang allows him to import weapons and equipment independently, but he must file a record with the relevant departments of the government, saying that this case is the first in the history of the Republic of China. Good luck Cherish yourself.

As for a piece of land in North China, it is not a problem to discuss with Song Zheyuan. That military powerful faction does not have its own territory. This is also a common practice, as long as it is reported to the Executive Yuan for record.

Chairman Jiang also particularly emphasized that the intention of not restricting the number of independent divisions is to allow Tang Qiuli to build a force capable of guarding the northwest, especially Shaanxi. The Central Army cannot always stay in northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communist bandits. The heavy responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the independent division. The implication is that you, Tang Qiuli, recruit as many troops as possible. In order to wipe out the Communist bandits, the more troops the better. [

This gave Tang Qiuli a reassurance. The scale of the army's development was not limited, and it was not afraid to say that it was self-respect.

In the telegram, Generalissimo Jiang only gave the Independent Division half a year to rest and reorganize. In January and February of [-], it had to go to the front line of suppressing the Communists in northern Shaanxi. It was probably the current situation of the Northeast Army that made him understand Tang Qiuli's intentions. Difficulty, after all, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division are all from the Northeast.

Tang Qiuli smiled secretly, half a year is enough time, and in a few months, the Xi'an Incident will break out. By then, your old man will not urge me to go to northern Shaanxi.

What surprised and surprised him the most was that Generalissimo Jiang proposed in a few sentences in the telegram that according to the practice of the Central Army, there should be a political training department in the division headquarters of the independent division. For the candidate, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs of the national government has already selected and transferred the appropriate personnel, and will soon go to the North China Independent Division to take up the post.

It seems to be an understatement, but in fact, this is Chairman Jiang's most powerful move. He put his eyeliner in the independent division and has the function of supervising the army. It seems that Chairman Jiang is not at ease with himself.

The previous benefits are all for this purpose, and the exchange conditions proposed have given you so many benefits. You will not refuse this request, will you?What's more, this is still the practice of the Central Army. Can your North China Independent Division make an exception?

Tang Qiuli secretly called the old man powerful. This was most likely He Yingqin's idea, and a stumbling block came soon. All the directors of political training in the various troops at that time had backgrounds in the military or central command. There are many people in the military command, they can see the sky with their hands and eyes, and their intelligence can reach the highest level of the government.

Therefore, regardless of their rank or background, the military chiefs of the troops they belong to are always afraid of them.

Tang Qiuli's head was getting bigger and bigger, and he had no reason to refuse the appointment from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. If the Director of Political Training refused, it would mean that he had two intentions. Big trouble.

However, there are not a few CCP members in the independent division, and they all serve as military officers at all levels. If the director of political training comes and finds out that this is a CCP den, the chaos will be broken. Besides, The KMT and the Communist Party are now incompatible, fighting to the death and getting along together, just kidding!

Tang Qiuli's head was a little bigger. The old man's hand was so powerful that he almost killed himself. From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't like the Kuomintang. In terms of personal quality and firmness of belief, Comparing the two parties, there is a world of difference. Tang Qiuli even thought of sending Qiuquan's special detachment to kill the head of the political training department on the way and put the responsibility on the Japanese.

Tang Qiuli did not disclose these thoughts to anyone in the independent division. Before going to Peiping, he held a meeting and assigned four tasks. Responsible for the political review must be strict. Second, the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng is responsible for establishing an intelligence network covering North China to the Shandong Peninsula and the Central Plains. This matter should be started as soon as possible.

The third is that Zhang Quan, the Minister of Logistics, will be in charge of purchasing materials according to the plan. In the Huangyadong area, a large-scale material storage center will be established. Various types of guns, grenades, and guns will be stocked with 1000 million rounds by the end of this year. At the beginning of March [-], the production capacity of the arsenal will reach an average daily output of [-] rounds. The logistics department will be responsible for supplying the required raw materials.

On the second day after the meeting, he led a squadron of soldiers from Shanhu's security brigade, more than 500 people, all riding horses, leaving Huangya Cave and heading towards Beiping, accompanied by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe And all 18 staff members of the staff office.

Half a day's journey away from Huangya Cave, the army was marching in a ravine. Behind the team, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes chasing by a large number of cavalry. We could vaguely see the dust flying and the sound of hooves shaking the sky. Judging by the momentum, there should be a cavalry battalion. of troops.

Under the order of Shanhu, the guard brigade quickly seized the commanding heights on both sides and occupied strong terrain. They were all equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns, as well as mortars and heavy machine guns. The divisional security brigade, in order to strengthen the regiment-level organization, has reached a strength of more than 300 people, divided into four squadrons, each with more than 500 people.

Among them, there is also the very mysterious division commander's special guard, with a total of more than 200 people. Shanhu is also the captain of the special guard. The selection from among the candidates and all the qualities represent the highest level of independent teachers.

The team members are all officers, and the youngest is a second lieutenant. Being able to enter the special guard is the dream of every soldier in the independent division. Even if you are a big soldier, as long as you enter the special guard, you will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant immediately.

Therefore, the divisional security brigade with the special guards as the core has shown amazing military quality. If calculated by combat power, both of the devil's regiments are capable of eating the devil.Now, in a hurry, temporary firepower points, individual bunkers, etc., have begun to take shape. [

Tang Qiuli and the staff of the staff office were tightly covered by the soldiers of the special guards to a safe area.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a group of cavalry rushed into the valley. Shanhu watched carefully with a telescope, and suddenly laughed. The cavalry behind him were his comrades in arms.

These cavalry are soldiers from the first battalion of Tongbatu's second cavalry brigade. A neat military salute: "Report to the division commander, the first battalion of the Second Cavalry Brigade is here to escort the division commander under the orders of Deputy Commanders Liu and Deputy Division Commander Tang, please give instructions! Battalion Commander Sriguleng." There is a flavor.

It turned out that after Tang Qiu left, Liu Tiehan and Qiusheng became more and more worried. It was impossible for the little devil to not know about the big movement of the troops entering the customs, but the quietness was a bit abnormal. Given how much the little devil hated the teacher, he did not move. , is that strange?

Thinking of this, these two people had no idea, the little devil could use any insidious tricks, so they immediately sent a cavalry battalion to chase after Tang Qiuli urgently.

After the two troops met, there were nearly 1000 troops. Because they were all cavalry, the speed of the march was greatly accelerated. Two days later, they had reached the edge of the Taihang Mountains and entered the territory of Hebei. In the evening, near the Zijing Pass, a small town called Zhanggezhuang Mountain village camping.

This is a village in the valley, surrounded by mountains, a small river flows slowly beside the village, the mountain is not high, covered with weeds and low bushes, the evening wind blows, bringing the fragrance of wild flowers, There are [-] or [-] households in the village. The terrain and landform here are quite different from those in the mountains in the northeast. At least there are no tall and straight pine trees, no tall and straight birches, and no fragrance of turpentine, but it has a special charm.

The people in the village were panicked when they saw so many soldiers, still in national army uniforms. The doors of their houses were closed, and some people who were close to the hillside ran up the hill in a hurry. Judging by the figure and clothes, they were all young women.

Tang Qiuli immediately understood that this was a village that had been harassed by the corrupt national army. The people here still remembered the bad behavior of the national army, but they were unarmed. It was a burst of earth guns and earth cannons, there was no way, the military discipline of the national army was corrupt, that was a persistent problem.

He ordered the troops not to enter the village, so they camped outside the village. The people in the village waited for a long time, but they didn't see these Qiu Bajinzhuang catching chickens and geese, and smashing doors to find women. It was very strange. Has the military changed?

A few courageous old men came over slowly. After talking with Tang Qiuli, they saw the spirit of the soldiers. They would rather bury the pot and cook outside the village than harass the people. The same national army, the people in the village called over and insisted on inviting Chief Tang to eat and drink in the village, but Tang Qiuli politely declined.

Seeing the officer's amiable and courteous appearance, several old people were moved to tears, saying that they had lived such an old age and had never seen such a good army. Tang Qiuli thought to himself, from now on, this will be I still have to hang out in this area in my own territory!Can you do it without leaving a good name?If you offend the common people, even if you have great abilities, you will not be able to accomplish anything!

Some young people in the village saw that these soldiers were indeed different from what they had seen before. If they were more courageous, they came over to talk to the soldiers, and they became familiar with each other after chatting. They even helped the soldiers feed their horses. .

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers began to publicize the glorious achievements of the independent division and the army's policy towards the common people. More and more people gathered, and some courageous girls also gathered together. These soldiers, in front of their eyes, Shows a different world.

It was late at night, and the mountain village was quiet. The soldiers who had marched for a day all fell asleep sweetly. Only the horses were eating the fresh green grass and snorting comfortably from time to time, but the mountain village seemed more peaceful.

There was no wind blowing, and in the bushes on the hillside, there was suddenly the sound of swaying vegetation, and black shadows quietly approached the soldiers' camp.
