Age of Rebirth

Seeing the teacher's face getting darker and darker, Meng Jianzhu still told without noticing that the teacher pointed to Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff, knowing that the mayor of Zhuanghe and the commander of the garrison were completely finished, but he was afraid of being killed in a fit of anger. Commander, do something drastic. After all, making a defense plan in advance for the incoming troops is the most important thing right now. The inaction of the military and political chief of Zhuanghe should not affect the judgment of the division commander.

Ge Zhenzhuang hurriedly said: "I am Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff of the division, Commander Meng, you bring a company of troops to follow the division commander and be responsible for the protection along the way. The rest of the troops will be stationed in Zhuanghe County and wait for the next step. The person responsible for the safety of the division commander is Captain Huang Shanhu of the division security brigade, in a while, you go to report to him, and he will arrange your specific tasks!"

Then, Ge Zhenzhuang asked Tang Qiuli for instructions: "Master, can this arrangement be made for the time being for Commander Meng's troops?"

Tang Qiuli let out a heavy breath, as if letting out the anger in his heart. He knew Ge Zhenzhuang's meaning, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Yes, I will do it according to your opinion! Let Meng Jianzhu obey Shanhu's orders." command!"

Meng Jianzhu was surprised again. Regardless of the military rank of Director Ge, he is a colonel just like himself, but his status is unusual. His position is not high but his weight comes from the division commander, which is the highest commanding body of the independent division. , usually as the head of the regiment, I have seen the commander Major General Han Tie at most. The headquarters is different. Any colonel can see the division commander at any time. Come out and at least serve as the chief of staff at the corps level!

"Yes. Director Ge, execute your order immediately!" Meng Jianzhu didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly saluted and said. Ge Zhenzhuang also saw his restraint and envy, smiled, didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart, "Working next to the teacher , the pressure is unusually small, if possible. I would rather go down to the army, serve as a regiment commander, and fight on the battlefield, wouldn't it be more enjoyable!"

Tang Qiuli and others left Wulu Town and continued westward.It was almost noon, but he had no appetite at all.Everything to see in Zhuanghe.And the facts that Meng Jianzhu said weighed heavily on his heart. For so many years, he had been running around in various battlefields, from the Indochina Peninsula to the Northeast, commanding one battle after another.Basically don't ask about the situation in the rear.

I have always thought that the rear is stable, and military and political cadres are conscientious and conscientious.However, the facts I saw in Zhuanghe subverted my inherent thinking. It is just a Zhuanghe, or it is still in the battlefield. Then, what about other places, areas far away from the battlefield?

Looking at Tang Qiuli with a worried face, Mei Xue thought for a while and said softly: "Qiuli, Zhuanghe is an isolated phenomenon after all, you don't have to worry about it, you are not in the mood for lunch, Xinlan and I understand, But what about the soldiers who follow us? What will they think, have you thought about it?"

Tang Qiuli was shocked. Mei Xue's words reminded himself from the side that he had never lost his composure in military command, but seeing what happened in Zhuanghe, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and his emotions were a little out of control. In the face of the enemy, such emotions will affect his correct judgment of the battle situation. He smiled guiltily and said gratefully: "Xiaoxue's opinion is good, I will correct it immediately!"

"Huzi, further ahead is Guangming Mountain, which is a small town in the mountainous area. If you pass it on, the troops will rest there. Also, I will personally pay for all the officers and soldiers to have a hot meal." Eat!" He ordered Shanhu in the front seat.

Shanhu agreed in a muffled voice, and used the walkie-talkie to convey Tang Qiuli's order to the special guards and Meng Jianzhu's troops. Then, Shanhu turned around and said, "It's rare, how long has it been since I saw you treat me with blood, Yes, I want to eat hand-caught mutton! When the time comes, just don’t worry about money, Director Mei and Staff Officer Liu are witnesses!"

Shan Hu deliberately made a joke, and after thinking for a while, he said again: "Just now your face was dark, and you are almost at the bottom of the pot. I know why you are annoyed. Aren't you just two guys who don't do anything? Let me tell you , It’s no big deal, if you are an official, you can withdraw, if it is serious, you can just shoot, our independent division has so many talents, what are you afraid of?”

Shanhu's method is simple and straightforward, but Tang Qiuli can only smile wryly. If it is just a Zhuanghe, it can be dealt with anyway. I am afraid that I am afraid to stay away from the rear of the flames of war. This phenomenon is common, and that is the most terrifying Yes, it means that the foundation laid down by the more than two million soldiers of the Independent Division, who have fought bloody battles for several years, is slowly decaying and shaking. The front is desperate, but the rear is insensitive. Isn't this the case in the Kuomintang-controlled areas during the Anti-Japanese War in history? Is there a situation?

Just when Tang Qiuli and his party left Wulu Town for less than an hour, a convoy of seven or eight cars rushed to the place where they stopped just now. It is the most luxurious car.

Two people got out of the limousine, the leader was Zhuanghe City Mayor Yu Shenghui, wearing a decent suit, it seemed that the life in Zhuanghe was very nourishing, his face was rosy, and the other was wearing the rank of colonel Yes, it is Han Qingfu, the current commander of the Zhuanghe Garrison Headquarters. On the outside, he is well-dressed and looks like a soldier, but when he raises his hands, several huge gold rings on his fingers glisten in the midday sun.

However, at this time, the two military and political officials of Zhuanghe lost their usual demeanor, their foreheads were sweating, and their faces looked anxious. It was only later that I found out that the number one leader of the Independent Division—General Tang Qiuli, the division commander, had arrived at Zhuanghe, but he hadn't notified the city government and the security headquarters.

Yu Shenghui and Han Qingfu took charge of Zhuanghe's military and political affairs in just a few short months, but they really tasted the benefits of power. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that a small section chief and headquarters staff officer with no power and power cannot experience.

Before being transferred to the Liaodong Peninsula, Yu Shenghui was a section chief of the Civil Affairs Committee of the North China Military and Political Commission. After the Independent Division recovered North China, he passed the examination and entered the ranks of government officials. He used to be an ordinary employee of the Beiping City Government. He had no position, no authority, and no capital to do bad things. Because he was not a traitor who committed a heinous crime, he passed the identity check smoothly.

Yu Shenghui worked in the North China Military and Political Committee for several years. Because of his culture, ability, and quick mind, his work was quite effective and he did a great job. He was gradually promoted to the position of section chief. Ability and performance, was listed as a very capable cadre by the personnel department of the North China Military and Political Committee, otherwise, he would not have been selected as a member of the Northeast Working Group in the Pingjin area, and was appointed as the mayor of Zhuanghe City.

Regarding the appointment of the mayor of Zhuanghe, before Liu Hanzhang became the head of the Northeast Work Group, his predecessor, Gao Diange, made the appointment. In a short period of time, Liu Hanzhang has not been able to adjust the Liaodong Peninsula as a whole. Candidates for the person in charge.

After participating in receiving the notice from the Northeast Work Group, Yu Shenghui was full of dissatisfaction. In his opinion, the place in the Northeast, with its poor mountains and bad waters, plus the war, is better than being in the metropolis of Beiping. A section chief, but he also has a good salary and no worries about food and clothing. Why bother to take risks in the Northeast?

However, the notice from the North China Military and Political Committee was very clear, and there was no room for bargaining. Any cadre who did not obey the organizational arrangement and refused to participate in the reception of the Northeast Work Group would be dismissed on the spot and dismissed from public office. Therefore, in fear of losing their jobs, , Yu Shenghui came to the Liaodong Peninsula reluctantly, and twisted his nose to take office in Zhuanghe.

In Yu Shenghui's view, Zhuanghe must have been exhausted, depressed, and starving after the war and the looting and oppression of the Japanese. Therefore, he regarded the position of mayor as a hard job, but after arriving in Zhuanghe, I found that I was wrong, and I was wrong very badly!

As a seaside city, Zhuanghe has been operated by the Japanese for many years, and its wealth is no worse than that of the counties in Guannei. Moreover, there are more folk rich people. Of course, it is the Japanese who are rich. The Japanese in Zhuanghe City are not like Anton. In that way, one after another committed suicide for their emperor, but chose to survive.

In order to preserve the previous wealth and luxurious life, Yu Shenghui, the new mayor, naturally became the target of the Japanese to win him over. Ever since, Yu Shenghui, who was in power, could no longer control the bad nature in his bones, and he would not refuse anyone who came. , not only made a lot of money, but also kept three or four beautiful Japanese women by his pillow. When doing these shady activities, Yu Shenghui was also frightened by the severity of the discipline, and he did it quietly in private. , In addition, it was carried out very secretly, and the other persons in charge of the Zhuanghe Municipal Government did not know yet.

As for Zhuanghe garrison commander Han Qingfu, he was born in Zhengmiaohong. The independent division joined the army in the first year after entering the customs. With a few pieces of shrapnel remaining, he grew from an ordinary soldier to a major battalion commander. Later, in order to take care of his body, the troops transferred him from the field troops to serve in the local government, and his rank was promoted to Colonel.

However, during the past few years at the Pingjin Garrison Headquarters, Han Qingfu's mind has undergone a fundamental change.
