Age of Rebirth

Chapter 250 Five Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain ([-])

Under the sun and the afternoon breeze, Tang Qiuli's cloak was blowing, like slightly spread wings, as if he was about to fly to the sky at any time, looking at the deputy commander standing with his hands behind his back on the hillside, the sun was shining on him, shining There was a dazzling halo, which almost made people hallucinate. Is he the God of War coming from the blue sky?

Maybe it was infected by some kind of emotion, and no one organized it. All the soldiers of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade and the cavalry of the independent division, with battalions and companies as units, consciously lined up in horizontal lines. The blade stood upright in front of his eyes, and extended the most noble etiquette of cavalry to the deputy commander who led them to victory. In Tang Qiuli's eyes, on the green grass and under the sun, there was a forest of snow-white knives.

An emotion surged in his heart, moved by these lovely soldiers, he knew that from now on, as long as he gave an order, these soldiers would turn back even in the face of mountains of swords, seas of fire, and hail of guns. Go to the front line.

I can only do my best to plan every battle so that the lives of these young soldiers can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. This is my responsibility and a mission. Tang Qiuli solemnly gave the soldiers a military salute , Such a fighter deserves respect. [

The remaining dozens of bandit captives were brought before Tang Qiuli. This was the rampant Wang Ying bandit gang. The few dozen remaining people witnessed the destruction of this criminal bandit gang.

It was these guys who saw the opportunity early, saw that something was wrong, and knelt down early, holding guns in both hands, waiting to be captured. Speeding past them, the thunderous sound of horseshoes completely drowned them out.

These bandits had long been frightened into a semi-conscious state, closed their eyes tightly, and handed over their lives to God. When they opened their eyes and saw the corpses of their accomplices everywhere, they secretly rejoiced that they were smarter.

Tang Qiuli briefly interrogated him. Based on his experience in two lifetimes, he could see through the inner world of these captured bandits through their eyes. Remnants of human nature.

Tang Qiuli is not a bloodthirsty person. He is interested in all of Wang Ying's belongings. Wang Ying has been a bandit for many years and has done all kinds of robbery. In order to get more benefits, Wang Ying went out with all his strength, leaving only his most trusted master and more than 30 old, weak, sick and disabled bandits in the lair.

There was a green light in Tang Qiuli's eyes, and the soldiers of the independent division knew that when they saw the teacher's expression, they knew that there was a huge benefit waiting for us to fish for it.

A cavalry company commander approached, and Tang Qiuli nodded slightly at him. The company commander understood what was going on, escorted more than a dozen prisoners, and led his own company, without disturbing the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army, quietly went to make a fortune. , This kind of thing, sometimes, it’s better not to talk about it. The remaining bandit captives gathered up the guns and medicines of the bandits and the Japanese army on the battlefield, and released them all after being educated.

So far, the task of annihilating Wang Ying's bandit gang has been successfully completed, and we are waiting for the good news from the chief of staff of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade who is in charge of annihilating the bandit cavalry in the Haituozi mountain area. Tang Qiuli is not worried about that battlefield. Now, the battle was not fought cleanly, and his chief of staff was in vain.

After the battle, the troops withdrew from the battlefield in the afternoon and crossed the Yanghe River. In the evening, they rested in the Dongnuanquan area near Xinbaoan. When the battle was going on, the devils near Beiping mobilized troops to go for reinforcements. Now, the entire surrounding area of ​​Beiping has this mobile force in their hands.

The good and complete logistical support of the independent division surprised the soldiers of the cavalry brigade. After the fierce battle, in a temporary rest place, they can have such good food conditions, and without harassing the residents. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade, it was incredible.

The local residents were also surprised. Military disasters and banditry have always been the most terrible disasters for ordinary people. Since the troops stationed in this area, the local people have been in panic all day long. People closed their doors early and listened anxiously to every small sound on the street. Some old ladies even knelt devoutly in front of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, burning incense and kowtow, praying for the safety of the whole family.

In the middle of the night, they still didn't hear the sound of knocking on the door that made their hearts tremble. Could it be that these people have changed their minds? The military uniforms of the 29th Army are recognized by these people. After all, they are stationed in the local army. In addition, the military discipline of the 29th Army is relatively strict. There are very few incidents of harassment of the people, and the residents are not very afraid.

But the independent division is different. Their uniforms are in the style of the Central Army. The most impressive thing for them is that in the 11th year of the Republic of China, during the Central Plains War, the Central Army also visited this area. Like locusts passing through, Almost no tiles were left, and it was not until five or six years later that the local area returned to its former vitality.

Tang Qiuli didn't know that the thoughts of these ordinary people, his thoughts, had been completely focused on the upcoming Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain. As for the work with the masses, there was a special department responsible for it.

In the independent division, there are institutions that the Central Army does not have, such as the Democracy Movement Section and Democracy Movement Department set up in each regiment and brigade, which are dedicated to doing mass work. The way to do it is to establish a department after arriving in North China to lay a solid foundation for opening up base areas in the future, and all the positions are held by members of the Communist Party of China. Others really can't do it.

Tang Qiuli knows how powerful these CCP members are. As long as these people go down to the village, within a few days, almost everyone in the entire village will be as close as a family to the army. This is why the CCP won the final victory. In the future operations behind enemy lines in North China, the seeds sown by the pro-democracy movement will become fertile soil.

Tang Qiuli notified the troops of the news of the complete annihilation of Wang Ying's bandit gang. Escorting the troops can relieve their worries and deal with Badalhu's frontal attack with all their strength. The weapons and medicines escorted are now close to the preset battlefield of Xiaowutai Mountain. The troops still had a fierce battle with Badalhu's trailing bandits, and the bandits attacked fiercely.

Liu Tiehan is still leading the left and right wings to outflank the troops, trekking hard among the high mountains in North China. It is expected that all the troops will arrive at the designated positions at [-] o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Tang Qiuli can fully imagine that the tens of thousands of troops on the two wings are Under what conditions can they arrive at the designated location nearly four or five hours in advance.

He had to contact Zhao Dengyu's brigade of the 29th Army of Weapons and Drugs, and Zhao Dengyu called back, "Deputy Commander, our department is approaching the scheduled rendezvous point, and progress along the way is smooth. It is estimated that we will arrive at the designated location in more than three hours, please." Don't worry, the deputy commander, all officers and soldiers of our brigade will resolutely complete the mission!" [

It was more than ten o'clock in the evening. Tang Qiuli looked at his watch. Zhao Dengyu's brigade could reach the pick-up location before two o'clock in the morning. Liu Tiehan's left and right wings outflanked the troops and arrived at the designated location at six o'clock in the morning.

That is to say, there are still four hours of vacancy in the middle, and this is also the time to test the escort troops. They will face the crazy attack of bandits with far more troops than themselves, and there is also a Japanese army in the regiment. It should not be underestimated. For four to five days, the independent first brigade will be under tremendous pressure.

He ordered that telegrams be sent to Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang immediately, urging the troops escorting weapons and medicines to speed up their march, and they must arrive at the designated transfer point before two o'clock tomorrow morning to join Zhao Dengyu's troops.

After handing over the weapons and medicines, the Independent First Brigade mobilized the forces of four regiments at the same time to launch a full-line blockade. It was necessary to firmly attract the Badalhu Japanese army and bandit troops to the preset battlefield in the Xiaowutai Mountains.

The rest of the escort troops, the first and second brigades of Tang Qiuquan's special detachment, and the first and second regiments of Liu Chun's first cavalry brigade, served as the left and right wing guards of the blocking force, preventing Badalhu's division of troops from outflanking the two wings of the blocking force.

The Independent First Brigade and its troops must stop the Japanese army and bandit troops firmly in the Xiaowutai Mountains at all costs. The front line of the battlefield is set for five hours, so that the two wings can outflank the troops, arrive and deploy smoothly, and win time.

The first and second brigades of the cavalry, Liu Chun and Tong Batu, and the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade, Jiang Yanming, who followed the bandits, will launch an all-out attack on the rear guard of the bandits starting at [-]:[-] am tomorrow to maximize their strength. To alleviate the pressure on the Li Honggang Department of the Independent First Brigade, who was responsible for the frontal blocking, this attack was fully in charge of the attack by Major General Liu Chun of the First Cavalry Brigade, and the other two departments should fully cooperate.

The deployment of the campaign has been completed. Now, the most critical thing is Liu Tiehan's troops. As long as they reach the designated position, Badalhu's more than 3000 Japanese soldiers and more than 2 bandits will be unable to escape.

I hope that the bandit leader Wang Ying did not send an emergency telegram to Badalhu before his death. Otherwise, with Badalhu's cunning and treachery, it is not difficult to judge the situation. All armed, withdrew from the battlefield, and disengaged from the independent division. These bandits returned to the mountains and forests.

With Li Honggang's only brigade and the troops following the bandits, it is not enough to fight a war of encirclement and annihilation. If it is not done well, the dumpling stuffing will burst the dumpling skin, and the bandits who have been beaten to death will turn this hatred , are all recorded on the head of the independent division, and minor troubles in the future will be inevitable.

From the beginning of the exchange of fire with the escort troops of the Independent Division to the present, only more than 20 hours have passed, but Badalhu feels that it has been as long as more than 20 years. What he is most worried about is time. The Independent Division still has nearly 5 troops. It is impossible for Tang Qiuli, the insidious and vicious head of the independent division, to sit back and watch the loss of these weapons and medicines.

However, until now, except for the thousands of independent division troops biting behind his buttocks, he has not found any trace of the independent division troops that he is most worried about.
