Age of Rebirth

Chapter 230 An Accident

Seeing Kobayashi Kenjiro's staggering back, gradually going away, Song Zheyuan laughed heartily. He remembered that he hadn't been this happy for a long time. He gave Tang Qiuli a thumbs up and said, "Mr. , asked for their money, and made them dare not say a few more words, okay! Song is so impressed!"

Song Zheyuan's eyes are full of admiration for his tough attitude in front of the Japanese. The young Master Tang's tough attitude in front of the Japanese will definitely become a decisive figure in North China. The future and destiny of the 29th Army may be To be connected with him should be more intimate.

Later, he told Tang Qiuli with concern that there are many Japanese spies in Beiping, so be more careful in public in the future, the Japanese can do anything, and worry about shooting black guns in your back!

Tang Qiuli laughed out loud. Commander, I wish the Japanese would do this. I wish I could launch a big raid in Beiping to catch all the lurking Japanese spies, get rid of these scourges as soon as possible, and make the Japanese soldiers outside Beiping city deaf and blind. Let us It also saves me from thinking about it every day. [

Song Zheyuan really couldn't believe that with Tang Qiuli's confidence and courage, nothing was a problem in front of him, and he would handle everything to his advantage. This is a person who does great things.

He ordered the Communications Staff Officer to immediately send all officers above the rank of regiment commander to the military headquarters to attend an emergency military meeting.

A few hours later, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the military headquarters, and groups of officers in uniform came one after another, and all the officers of the 29th Army were present.

At the meeting, Song Zheyuan first introduced Tang Qiuli to everyone, and the officers below were commotions, whispering to each other. Although it was the first time for this young lieutenant general who had recently become popular and famous, he had a great deal of respect for Tang Qiuli. Qiu Li is no stranger to him. His record of fighting devils in the Northeast has been spread since he arrived in North China.

Especially in the battle between Jinzhou and Huludao, more than 2 devils were wiped out, and Jinzhou City was recovered. There is no army of the general who can kill so many little devils. It is really refreshing. All officers with blood and a sense of military honor , They all have full respect for the troops that can fight against the invaders and the commanders of this troops. For real soldiers, being able to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield is their greatest joy.

For the security team that wiped out Yin Rugeng, these officers were even more angry. They had long disliked the big traitor, but because of the order from above, they could only grit their teeth with anger, and finally someone replaced him. They breathed out this bad breath, and the person who created this series of legends was right in front of them. These officers looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly.

At the meeting, Song Zheyuan mainly wanted to understand the movements of the devils and puppet troops from all over the world. When he raised his breath, these officers who rushed back from the front line were all full of anger, and a regiment leader stood up suddenly, unable to restrain himself. anger.

When Song Zheyuan called him Ji Xingwen, Tang Qiuli's spirit moved. This is Ji Xingwen who fired the first shot in the all-out war of resistance. His troops were stationed in Wanping County, southwest of Beiping. occurred in the jurisdiction.

This is a national hero. He and his troops will always be remembered by later generations. Unfortunately, except for the gunshot on the night of the July [-]th Incident, during the eight years of the War of Resistance, few achievements were made, because they were not direct troops. Being squeezed out by the Whampoa faction, Ji Xingwen was only the commander of a miscellaneous army by the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

As wars raged all over the land of China, the whole nation threw themselves into the battlefield of desperate struggle against the Japanese pirates. The gunshots outside Wanping City gradually faded away, submerged in the dust of history.

Later, Ji Xingwen retreated to Taiwan Island with the defeat of the national army. When he was employing people with integrity, the chairman of the committee thought of his contribution during the Anti-Japanese War and reactivated him. The idle position of the commander, as the deputy of General Hu Lian.

During his tenure as Deputy Commander of Kinmen Defense, from August to October 51, a artillery battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke out that attracted worldwide attention. Headquarters, its deputy commander was killed on the spot, and his bones remained. This person was none other than General Ji Xingwen, who was [-] years old at the time.

To him personally, it must be a tragedy that the nation's first uprising back then would be so forever. A generation of anti-Japanese heroes lost their lives on the battlefield of the civil war.

At this time, Ji Xingwen was at the prime of his life, with a handsome and elegant face, resembling a teacher. Tang Qiuli looked at him, maybe, he could change his fate in ten years later.

Ji Xingwen reported that the Japanese have stepped up their provocations recently, holding various military exercises under the city of Wanping and in the suburbs almost every day. Seeing the rampant arrogance of the little devil, I can't wait to give him a machine gun.

After finishing speaking, he sat down resentfully. Because of his excitement, his fair face was blushing. It was obvious that he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Song Zheyuan once again sternly warned all the officers not to act rashly or stir up troubles. To provoke the Japanese, tolerance and concession are the fundamental principles.

It can be seen that all the officers present here are full-blooded iron-blooded men, and they are quite dissatisfied with the commander's request, and their indignation is beyond words.

In fact, among them, how many people can understand Song Zheyuan's pains and painstaking efforts, but Tang Qiuli deeply understands Song Zheyuan's choice and understands his situation. If Song Zheyuan knows, Tang Qiuli, who is not yet 20 years old this year , is his current confidant, and while being moved to tears, he couldn't help exclaiming again and again, this person is the reincarnation of a goblin! [

The rest of the front-line commanders have reported the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops within their respective defense zones. In the northwest direction, the traitors and bandits Li Shouxin and Wang Ying's troops bought by the devils have suddenly moved their positions towards us in the past few days. Three kilometers, and also organized several small-scale attacks, all of which were repelled by our army.

All the troops stationed on the outskirts of Peiping encountered such situations, and they strictly followed the orders of the military department and did not take drastic measures.

After everyone reported, Tang Qiuli had a thorough understanding of the enemy's situation around Pingjin. The little devil couldn't hold back anymore, and began to test the defense situation of the Chinese army, the level of combat effectiveness and the quality of the soldiers.

When the meeting was about to end, Song Zheyuan suddenly took Tang Qiuli's hand, stood up, and announced a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Now, I announce that Lieutenant General Tang Qiuli, the commander of the North China Independent Division, will also serve as the deputy commander of the No. 20 Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. He will be officially appointed after reporting to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs!" Tang Qiuli felt that Song Zheyuan held him back. His hands were trembling slightly, obviously trying to control his excitement.

Song Zheyuan didn't say anything to him in advance. Now, he is very passive, and the officers below also showed expressions of astonishment. Several of Song Zheyuan's confidant officers seemed to be very dissatisfied, as if they thought it was Tang Qiuli who used Shangfeng Order, to force the commander to do so, looked at him with hostility.

"When I am not here or due to accidental reasons, when I cannot perform the duties of the army commander, the 29th Army must obey. The orders of Deputy Army Commander Tang are just like the orders I personally issued. There must be no objection. If there is any disobedience, I will personally deal with it!"

The officers below were all silent. This decision was too sudden. Everyone was unprepared, and they were at a loss for a while. What happened to the old army commander? Could it be related to this Deputy Commander Tang?

Tang Qiuli understood the deeper meaning from Song Zheyuan's decision. He was entrusting the future fate of the 29th Army to himself. As a veteran professional soldier, Song Zheyuan knew clearly that the Sino-Japanese War , inevitable, it's just that the time can't be predicted sooner or later.

With the equipment and strength of the 29th Army, as well as the terrain at an absolute disadvantage, once the war starts, the lives of tens of thousands of brothers will inevitably be lost. The army was wiped out.

He saw this just now, and he didn't want to destroy the team in his own hands, so he entrusted the army he started with to himself, and he also wanted to find a way out for the brothers who had followed him for many years.

In Tang Qiuli's heart, a wave of heat surged all over his body, and he was even more touched. He believed in himself so much within a day of acquaintance, and gave himself his wealth and life. This is a great trust. regarded as lifeblood.

After Song Zheyuan finished speaking, he fell heavily on the chair, with his back straight, and the aura of an iron-blooded soldier rose up. Only the careful Tang Qiuli could see the faint tears in his eyes, in his heart , is deep Nai and Xiao Suo, perhaps, he thinks that his own time has passed.

No longer trying to support such a heavy burden, he gave himself and his subordinates an explanation. Facing the Japanese who were the tiger and wolf army, he felt powerless. Facing the complicated political situation and military situation in North China, he was exhausted. He went deeper to analyze, Isn't this a kind of relief, detached from the matter, far away from the vortex of struggle, implying the meaning of avoiding disaster.

People are complicated. Tang Qiuli understands Song Zheyuan's good intentions. We are all mortals. Why should we use the standards of saints to demand everyone?

If there is no accident, after he assumes the position of vice chairman of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, this old brother Song will announce that because he is unwell, he needs to go to Nanjing or Shanghai for medical treatment, and all military and political affairs in North China will be handled. Delegate full authority to yourself.

It's just that Tang Qiuli felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't like being arranged by others for his fate and future direction. In his heart, he was always the master of his own soul and completely controlled his own destiny. He couldn't even affect or control others.

It was the first time that he was brought to the front desk so passively in the past few years. With his consistent character and temperament, it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable. A man who is used to controlling other people's thoughts and fate People are suddenly controlled by others. This is not a simple role change, but a psychological subversion. It takes time to adapt or get used to it.
