Age of Rebirth

Chapter 260 Seven

One's own happiness is the enemy's pain. Tang Qiuli has plenty of time to spend his stamina with the Japanese. With more than 2000 hostages and Japanese soldiers in hand, he takes the initiative. When to tear up votes, he is in a bad mood and doesn't want to play anymore. thing.

On June 26th in the 27th year of the Republic of China ([-]), the siege of the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield had reached its seventh day.

Liu Tiehan called, and the Jin army, together with the bandit suppressing troops (taking advantage of the opportunity), a whole division, under the command of the division commander Zhao Chengshou, claimed to have arrived at Xiaowutai Mountain at [-]:[-] this morning under the order of Commander Yan, after negotiating with the division commander. On the battlefield, to participate in the battle against bandits, according to the prior agreement, put the Jin army troops on the periphery, and keep them away from the core battlefield.

Zhao is quite dissatisfied with this arrangement, and has many objections, claiming that he is here to participate in the battle, not to make decorations, and hopes that the independent division will respect the friendly army, and there should be no discrimination. The combat effectiveness of the Jin army is not necessarily weaker than the independent division , also claimed that he wanted to tell Yan Xishan about this matter, and asked him to negotiate with the teacher. [

Tang Qiuli called back: "Brother Tiehan, the handling is very good. The original plan remains unchanged. The Jin army cannot approach the core battlefield, otherwise it will affect the overall plan. Moreover, Yan Xishan has many ties to the high-level Japanese army in North China. This matter has to be guarded against. Yan Xishan, let me deal with him."

At ten o'clock in the morning on June 27, Yan Xishan called. The content of the telegram was as follows: "Brother Qiu Li Xunjian, our Jin army troops have arrived at the battlefield. All the soldiers of the Jin army have the heart to destroy the bandits. , dare not call himself a guest army, Cheng Shou is a fierce general of the Jin army, and the troops he leads are all elite soldiers. I hope that the general will fulfill the wish of the soldiers of the Jin army to suppress bandits and protect their families, and Baichuan is very grateful."

After Tang Qiuli finished reading the telegram, he was deeply impressed by Yan Xishan's good calculations. This Yan Laoxi was a master at plucking wild goose hair. He was afraid that he would monopolize military achievements like other troops in the national army, and he didn't want others to take a share. Liu Tiehan's arrangement made him suspicious. The troops had arrived, and Zhao Chengshou was left aside when discussing meritorious deeds and rewards. He, Chief Yan, didn't get anything. Isn't that a loss-making business?

Tang Qiuli endured his temper and returned a telegram to Yan Xishan, "Officer Yan's Honor, Tang does not dare to covet heaven's merits for himself. The arrangement of General Zhao's troops depends on the situation on the battlefield. The Ministry of Encirclement has completed the deployment of the encirclement, and it is inconvenient to change it just before the battle. It may be taken advantage of by the bandits, and the bandits under siege are all gangsters, most of them are desperadoes. Your army has traveled long distances. The general's troops have suffered losses."

"The battle to annihilate the bandits will be undertaken by the independent division. All that is captured, the expensive part will get one-tenth of it. As for the results of the battle, it will be completed with the joint efforts of your two divisions. Commander Yan has traveled thousands of miles and sent a division of tiger and ben to help me with all my strength." , Tang is very grateful for the kindness of the independent teacher, and Chief Yan's deep friendship is unforgettable!"

After the telegram was sent out, Tang Qiuli could imagine the smug smile of Chief Yan. I, Tang Qiuli, gave him everything he wanted, and it was beyond his imagination. Looking for such a good thing, isn't it because you are afraid that you will leave him to do it alone, as for this?

This is politics, full of hypocrisy and politeness, covering up the true intentions, allowing you to guess and understand. It is very troublesome. Tang Qiuli is extremely tired of this. He feels that it is better to be on the battlefield with the Japanese. The joy of coming up, the killing and decisiveness, the joy of grievances and hatred, such as flowing water, politics is too dirty!

However, he had to do this. The Shanxi Wang Yan chief was someone he did not want to offend, and he was also someone he could not offend. His future base area spanned the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei. When dealing with him, he was behind. In the world, there are some people who cannot be offended even if they cannot become friends or confidants.

Sure enough, the commander Zhao Chengshou no longer clamored to deploy the Jin army troops to the forefront, and fought with the bandits who were besieged with real swords and guns. Instead, he deployed the troops on a mountain five kilometers away from the battlefield. In the meantime, this Master Zhao still has some military skills. The camp he chose is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important thing is that he can quickly get out of the unfavorable situation. It must be that Commander Yan gave him a secret order. He doesn't need to be the top leader, which is a bit dangerous. Nothing, why not do it if you get the benefits dry.

Tianjin, the war room of the Japanese North China Garrison Headquarters. At 27:[-] am on June [-], Commander Tashiro Kanichiro looked at the group of senior generals with piercing eyes, with a solemn expression, as if an important decision had been announced.

After several days of painful thinking, Kanichiro Tashiro consulted with the heads of various Japanese military agencies in North China, and consulted the opinions of the front-line generals, and finally made a decision to use various means to rescue the thousands of imperial soldiers who were besieged in the Xiaowutai Mountain area. .

From Tashiro's point of view, the cat-and-mouse game Tang Qiuli played was to create opportunities for himself and allow him time to arrange everything. Of course, he hoped that he could lead a large army, march westward, and clean up that Kill the hateful Tang Qiuli with his independent teacher in one fell swoop, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

That Tang Qiuli, in Manchuria, made Commander Nanjiro and his Kwantung Army miserable, suffered heavy losses, and suffered unspeakably. In the end, the entire army was able to retreat and enter the customs smoothly, bringing the empire's important position in Manchuria. The military base, Jinzhou City was broken, and the empire's foundation in Manchuria suffered heavy losses. Up to now, Jinzhou has not recovered.

This person's commanding skills on the battlefield, his precise grasp of the battle situation, and his brutal behavior towards the soldiers of the empire are frightening. Gathering a group of desperadoes under his command and spreading them to North China is by no means a blessing for him. If he is not eliminated, he will surely die. Become the nightmare and formidable enemy of the North China Imperial Army.

However, the military deployment of the empire in North China has not yet been completed. Within the high-level empire, there are still great differences on whether to go north to attack Soviet Russia or to go south to occupy Southeast Asia. In the Far East, it is impossible to draw out large-scale troops to support the North China battlefield.

Tashiro Wanichiro could only watch as Tang Qiuli, the enemy of the empire, placed all his troops in the Xiaowutai Mountain area, which was only three to five days away from him. He swallowed his mouth for this opportunity. The troops in his hands were really stretched. , more than [-] troops, to occupy so many military points, gather together in one place, one in one month, it can't be done. With these efforts, Tang Qiuli is enough to let Badalhu and thousands of empires Soldier, killed several times.

Insufficient military strength and insufficient military strength, Tashiro Kanichiro had to do nothing. Seven days was enough for him to come up with several methods. The Japanese Empire has never lacked strategic talents.

The whole plan is divided into four parts. The first is the North China Garrison Aviation Unit, dispatching a brigade of fighter jets and bombers to carry out devastating bombing on the independent divisions gathered in the Xiaowutai Mountain area. It is necessary to inflict heavy damage on them and cover Badal. Hu and the imperial soldiers took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement.

The second is to station the [-]rd Infantry Brigade in the Fengtai area on the outskirts of Beiping, and dispatch two regiments of troops to the Xiaowutai Mountain area in the name of an exercise. Attention, for the aviation aircraft, create a favorable opportunity. [

If the troops of the [-]rd Brigade encounter obstacles and harassment from the Chinese troops along the way, they should get rid of them as soon as possible, and be responsible for supporting them in the direction of the Badalhu breakout. When the timing is favorable and the troops are superior, the scattered troops around the independent division can be wiped out completely, so that no one will slip through the net.

The third is to put pressure on Tang Qiuli through Yan Xishan, the highest military and political officer in Shanxi Province. With Yan Xishan's good personal relationship with important military officials of the Imperial Japanese Empire, he will definitely help him with all his strength.

At this time, the person in charge of the intelligence agency provided Tashiro with an important piece of information. According to reconnaissance, a whole division of Yan Xishan's Jin army, led by division commander Zhao Chengshou, had arrived in the Xiaowutai Mountain area. The intention was obvious, to help the independent division complete the operation Purpose, whether this person is reliable now remains to be considered.

Some senior Japanese military officers suggested that it would be better to directly put pressure on the Nanjing Nationalist Government and let the Nanjing Government order to force Tang Qiuli to withdraw the siege of the imperial soldiers. I am afraid that Yan Xishan is not enough weight.

Kanichiro Tashiro was very annoyed by the short-sightedness of his subordinates, so he went into a rage on the spot, yelling at the officer who came up with the idea, with a very rich language, giving full play to the essence and charm of the Japanese language.

He said that the reason why Yan Xishan sent troops to Hebei was that he didn't know that there were imperial soldiers in the encirclement. The independent division declared that it was to encircle the bandits. The soldiers were surrounded, and his troops were also involved in this matter. I am afraid that he will work harder to mediate. Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to him to take the risk of antagonism with the Great Japanese Empire.

We sent troops, disguised as Chinese bandits, to attack the escort troops belonging to the independent division of the Central Military System. The next step of the all-out war plan will bring changes and affect the overall situation. As senior military officers of the empire, when considering the issue of China, you must stand at a strategic height and look at the overall situation so that you can live up to the great trust of His Majesty the Emperor and not affect the empire's Great East Asia Holy War.

After Tashiro Wanichiro finished speaking, there was silence and the sound of crows and sparrows. All the senior Japanese military officers present at the meeting looked at their commander, His Excellency Tashiro, who was able to be the supreme commander of the empire in North China, but it was very difficult. He earned a false reputation, and he looked at problems with height and depth, especially the psychological analysis of senior officials in China, which was more accurate and sophisticated.

It is a great honor to follow such a commander to fight on the battlefield of China, to realize His Majesty's grand plan, to publicize the unrivaled martial arts of the Imperial Japanese Army, and to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
