Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli was disappointed and angry at what he saw in Zhuanghe County. Zhuanghe, which was about to become a front-line battlefield, was peaceful without any sign of war. A big battle was just a few hundred kilometers away. Without affecting this place, how can such a local government, such a local garrison, and such a military and political officer be of great use?

The two soldiers that Tang Qiuli saw now looked neat and did not do anything outrageous. They probably bought something they liked, and their expressions were full of joy. When they saw a huge convoy parked on the street, He just casually glanced at it for a few times before leaving on his own. His lack of vigilance made his teeth itch with hatred!

Originally, according to the plan, I first went to the Zhuanghe garrison headquarters to understand the basic situation, and then, after a short rest, I went out of the city to check the terrain on the spot. Now, Tang Qiuli didn't want to see the garrison commander named Han Qingfu at all, and it was fine. I was in the mood for lunch, so the company commander of the Dalian Garrison Headquarters who was escorting asked for instructions, and he simply answered.

Seeing the officer's uneasy expression, the company commander was beating his heart. Until now, he didn't know that the escort was the number one leader of the Independent Division. The escort this time is the most important person at the level of a division commander, and you can't make any mistakes. If you encounter a little devil, even if you wipe out all the soldiers in your company, you can't let him hurt a single hair!"

"When the escort task is successfully completed, I will credit you with credit when I come back!" Therefore, the company commander felt that the identity of the important person who was escorted must not be simple. The aura of killing is not comparable to these soldiers under his own.Moreover, none of them were ordinary soldiers, and the lowest rank was also a second lieutenant. As for the commander's confession, the escort was the division commander, and he didn't think about Tang Qiuli at all.

"What kind of big man is this? Teacher—the independent division has several teachers, but unfortunately, I haven't seen any of them!" The company commander secretly guessed, but.The young general's calm demeanor was full of oppression, and he couldn't think of any objection in front of him.Now, the company commander saw that the officer's face was ugly.Also shut up knowingly.I dare not say a word.

Ge Zhenzhuang came back from the radio station, walked up to Tang Qiuli, and said in a low voice: "Master, Vice Chairman Liu called back. The mayor of Zhuanghe is called Yu Shenghui, and he is from the Second Northeast Working Group composed of personnel transferred from the North China Military and Political Committee." Vice Chairman Liu also asked, is there any problem with this Yu Shenghui?"

Tang Qiuli sneered, and said: "It seems that military officers and local cadres in North China have stayed in a comfortable environment for too long, and are insensitive to war, and have brought this habit to the Liaodong Peninsula. Director Ge , you send someone to inform Zhuanghe Mayor Yu Shenghui and Garrison Commander Han Qingfu, and tell them to immediately organize manpower and prepare to meet the wounded who are withdrawn by the Marine Corps!"

"Let's go out of the city right away to check the terrain!" After finishing speaking, he stepped into the armored command vehicle. Ge Zhenzhuang knew that the two military and political officers in Zhuanghe might have to bear the wrath of the division commander, and that's right, he was about to become the frontline Zhuang River, but there is no atmosphere of war.

"Teacher, it's almost noon. Shall we take a break and leave the city after dinner!" Ge Zhenzhuang suggested that before starting from Mengdong Kailu, Chief of Staff Zhao told himself that he must take good care of the teacher and eat on time. One of the key points is that although the teacher has two wives to take care of him, he must not neglect his duties.

Tang Qiuli gave Ge Zhenzhuang a cold look, and said, "I have no appetite. It's not too late to eat when we get to the place. Aren't we carrying dry rations for the march!"

Ge Zhenzhuang grinned secretly, called a staff officer over, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The staff officer took two guards, got into a jeep and headed for Zhuanghe City Hall and the garrison headquarters. The convoy left the city without any hindrance. A convoy, the sentinel at the gate of the city, just questioned the lead vehicle hastily, and waved a small flag to let it go. You know, that is the direction where the Japanese army is rushing, and the guard is so lax. Tang Qiuli's face is gloomy. It's almost dripping water.

To the north of Chuzhuanghe City, about 10,000 kilometers away, there is an east-west mountain ridge, which is the remaining veins of thousands of mountains, extending to a part of the Liaodong Peninsula. On the military map, Tang Qiuli is basically confirmed, relying on this, Form a blocking line from Zhuanghe in the east to Bayuquan in the west, across the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. Here, the [-]+ troops of the four divisions of the Japanese Third Army were blocked, and they were caught in a breakthrough battle and could not escape.

The field survey is to determine whether the terrain conditions are as depicted on the map. This is also Tang Qiuli's habit. As long as he personally commands a battle, he must go to the front line to check the terrain. This habit has also affected the commanders at all levels of the independent division and corps. In his opinion, sitting in the room and looking at the military map to determine how to fight the war is stupid and dangerous. Often, a small change in the terrain will affect the final outcome of the battle.

Standing on a hillside overgrown with bushes and wormwood, Tang Qiuli held up his binoculars. Behind him, Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of the division's staff department, and a dozen staff officers from the staff department held military maps and kept on Point your finger on the graph.

Tang Qiuli looked very carefully, put down the binoculars, and said to Ge Zhenzhuang: "Director Ge, Zhuanghe is an important point leading to the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. The river is a natural barrier, and Wulu Town is on the south bank of the river. Wulu Town can be used as the bridgehead of the Zhuanghe River and the starting point of the eastern end of the blocking line, guarding across the river. Although the river is not deep and the river is not wide, But if the Japanese army wants to cross the river and attack, it will not work without some effort!"

"This blockade line across the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula is the bridle of the Japanese Third Army. Your staff office must carefully formulate an operational plan for this blockade, and try to fight before the No. 20 Ninth Corps and the Marine Corps arrive. Come up with a detailed battle plan, there is not much time, and the troops will start deploying as soon as they arrive, and the work of the staff office must go to the front of the troops!"

Ge Zhenzhuang personally drew a circle of Nahe and Wulu towns with a red pen on the military map of the Liaodong Peninsula, and marked them with key points. He has served as the chief of staff in the division for several years. There have been dozens of battles, but I have never seen them. The division commander personally inspected the terrain for a blocking line, and personally deployed defenses for a battle. It can be explained that the Battle of the Liaodong Peninsula has an important position in the mind of the teacher.

After looking at the terrain here, and seeing that it was still early in the morning, Tang Qiuli said before finishing his meal, "Everyone get in the car, let's take a trip across the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula!"

As soon as the convoy started, they heard the roar of truck engines from the north bank of the river. Moreover, there were definitely a lot of them, because it was obscured by irregularly scattered trees, and it was impossible to see what kind of troops it was. Shanhu's expression changed first, Zhuanghe will soon become the front line, and any situation may happen. If it is a small vanguard of the Japanese, the division commander will be in danger!

"Tewei No. [-] Unit, immediately advance three kilometers to guard, and the Dalian Garrison District troops immediately cover the division commander and the staff of the staff office, enter the woods to hide, and all vehicles immediately drive into the woods to camouflage!" Shanhu issued a series of orders.

The special guards have long been accustomed to dealing with emergencies. The team leader made a gesture, and more than 100 special guards quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. The company commander of the Dalian Garrison had obviously never seen such a situation, and seemed Somewhat at a loss, Shan Hu glared at him viciously, swallowed the curse words on his lips, thought about it, and immediately took over the command, commanding a company of soldiers to do a good job of concealment.

However, while Shan Hu ordered the soldiers to hide in an orderly manner, he thought viciously in his heart: "This **** is also a soldier of our independent division? I haven't determined whether it is a little devil, and my legs are weak! What the **** Can they fight? After the situation is clarified, hurry up and go back, so that I won't be distracted from taking care of them!"

Under the protection of a few personal guards, Tang Qiuli walked into the woods, looked at Mei Xue who seemed nothing had happened, and Liu Xinlan with a nervous face, held her little hand, smiled easily, and said to Shan Hu: "Hu Zi, There's no need to be nervous, the Japanese army can't get here yet, the biggest possibility is the retreating Marine Corps!"

Looking at the company commander who became Shanhu's follower, Tang Qiuli shook his head secretly, and his impression of the troops in the Pingjin Garrison was even more discounted, "It seems that the troops in the Pingjin Garrison , in a comfortable environment, staying for too long, has lost the vigor it should have, and it is a tragedy for such an army to go to the battlefield!" He thought with a heavy heart, and he had already begun to think about rectifying the troops in the Pingjin Garrison Area. Plan to come.

Ten minutes later, a few bird calls came from outside the woods. Shanhu listened carefully, and the bird call rang again. His tense body immediately relaxed, and he called to relieve the guards who were on guard all around him. With a warning gesture, he half-closed his eyes and looked at Tang Qiuli, and said a little sourly: "Okay, I guessed it right again, the captain of the first division sent a signal, and the convoy that came was transporting the Sixth Brigade of the Marine Corps." The team captain of the wounded has confirmed their identities!"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleamed with joy, and said, "Go! Take a look!" Then he strode out of the hidden woods. For the three brigades of the Marine Corps who were frustrated in the first battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, His mood is deplorable, but also complicated.

Without this big defeat, the deployment of the entire Liaodong Peninsula campaign would not be as tense as it is now, with a bit of a rush, and there is no need to transfer troops from the No. 20 Ninth Corps, disrupting the overall campaign plan.
