Age of Rebirth

Chapter 310 The Seventh Front in Northern Shaanxi

After the convoy left Xi'an, you could already see the loess on the slopes through Luochuan. This is the real loess plateau, with earthy yellow everywhere. Although it is summer, the green weeds can't cover the exposed loess.

Occasionally a row of tall and straight poplars, a village covered by sparse vegetation, last year’s dried red peppers hanging in front of the cave, and an old man with a white sheep’s belly towel on his head, looking at the monster-like car in horror, bringing yellow dust all over the sky, Flying around.

Years of flowing water have cut the ancient loess plateau into thousands of gullies, and in each of these gullies, if you walk along the shallow river, you will see villages, like grapes, along the small river. Along the river, scattered in the depths of the ravine.

This is the Loess Plateau that raised the ancestor of Chinese civilization. It is as thick and silent as before, but its face has been sculpted by the years, and it is gradually aging and fragmented. [

As the convoy passed Luochuan, traces of the war could already be seen. There were gradually more soldiers in gray and khaki military uniforms. In many places, barracks could be seen, barbed wire fences on the road and sentries armed with guns. At the checkpoint, the sentries strictly checked, which made people smell like gunpowder.

Because of the special instructions given by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to their respective troops, Tang Qiuli's convoy did not encounter any difficulties along the way. Escorted to the next level.

Soldiers of the Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army along the way all had doubts in their minds, who is this big man?The officer greeted him personally, what was in the tightly covered car?Even so, no soldier was supposed to open it and check it.

The order they received was that no questioning or inspection was allowed, and they were all allowed to go.

When the convoy arrived at Ganquan, this was already the real front line, opposite to the position of the Communist Red Army. However, the soldiers of the Northeast Army stationed here didn't seem to care much, and there was no tense atmosphere.

It should be Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng who reached a partial cease-fire agreement with the Red Army in private. All the tense confrontation scenes were not seen at the forefront. Soldiers, can we still fight?The Red Army on the opposite side can wipe them all out with a single charge.

When Tang Qiuli got out of the car, a division commander of the Northeast Army surnamed Huang came to greet him in person and performed the ceremony of his subordinates. The convoy was arranged in Ganquan City, and division commander Huang transferred to the division's guard battalion to strictly guard against those Soldiers with dishonest hands and feet, doing things like chicken and dog robbery.

Accompanied by Master Huang, Tang Qiuli arrived at the forefront position. The soldiers lazily got up and saluted, as a way to save face for the commander. He suddenly had the urge to observe these Red Army soldiers at a close distance.

In later generations, seeing the image of the Red Army in some film and television works of this period, and being able to truly visit the scene in person, the image on the screen appeared vividly in front of his eyes. Tang Qiuli couldn't help being tempted, mainly because he didn't want to regret it.

He took the binoculars, and in the lens of the high-power binoculars, everything on the opposite side was clearly visible. He saw the Red Army soldiers on the opposite side, with ragged clothes and patches on their colorless military uniforms.

Their faces were obviously malnourished, and they were disheveled, but their spirits were much better than the well-dressed soldiers of the Northeast Army here.

This is what brought down the country, the predecessor of the Communist army. Master Huang was worried and sent a platoon of guards to personally protect Tang Qiuli. He had to be careful. See you later.

It may be that there was a different movement in this position than usual. On the Red Army position, there was an immediate response. A series of passwords sounded.

At the same time, a few binoculars were looking at Tang Qiuli and the others. Tang Qiuli secretly praised that although the Red Army had been battered for twenty-five thousand miles, the survivors were all elites, and the cowardly escaped. Slack off, not smart enough to fight to the death.

Those who can go all the way to northern Shaanxi are people with firm beliefs and outstanding will. For the CCP, the [-]-mile long march is a cruel elimination. The pure seeds were brought to the Loess Plateau and barren land in the Northwest, where they landed, took root, and germinated. Finally, more than ten years later, the red flag was planted all over Baishan Heishui, Yanzhao Land, Mongolian Plateau, Western Regions, Jiangnan Water Village, The verdant Nanyue, Tianfuchuan Kingdom, and Wuzhi Mountain have won the world and stabilized the country.

Tang Qiuli slipped back quietly, he didn't dare to stay any longer, with the superiority of the general of the Red Army, it was not difficult to guess that a big man was coming from the opposite side, and a surprise attack might have cost him his life!

The next day, leaving all the supplies in Ganquan County, Tang Qiuli led Shanhu and [-] soldiers of the special guard, all in plain clothes, only carrying weapons for self-defense, left Ganquan, went up the Luo River, and headed for Wuqi. The town marches.

All the soldiers didn't even have a heavy weapon, only Shanhu's hand-held heavy machine gun, which never left his body, was the only deterrent weapon. Tang Qiuli didn't force Shanhu to keep the heavy machine gun, but just told him to do something simple camouflage.

Where is Professor Ouyang waiting for them? According to the latest news sent back by Professor Ouyang, they have already made a major discovery. If there are no special accidents, Tang Qiuli's assertion may become a reality. [

This time, Professor Ouyang was very polite in the telegram. Obviously, it was Tang Qiuli's miraculous prophet who completely shocked this knowledgeable and lofty old professor. fact.

Along the way, it was not easy to walk. In the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi at that time, there were no decent grade roads. Tang Qiuli and the others walked along the Luohe River. I don’t know what time it was. The winding road stepped on by businessmen on foot Forward.

At dusk, I arrived at a small town called Jintang. The town is not big, with a total of hundreds of households. There is only one inn in the town, and kerosene lamps are still lit. , It was pitch black, and there was an atmosphere of dilapidation and decay everywhere.

Tang Qiuli and the others immediately offered a high price to take over the entire inn. The owner was so happy that wrinkles filled the corners of his eyes. What a place to go.

After a day of marching, the soldiers were very tired, and Tang Qiuli suffered from pain in the soles of his feet. Everyone had eaten special dishes in northern Shaanxi and went to bed early.

Shanhu murmured for a while, four groups of twelve warriors quickly jumped out from the door, and disappeared in the darkness without disturbing anyone.

Tang Qiuli over there was already snoring slightly. There was a mountain tiger. Tang Qiuli never cared about security matters. Shanhu was more concerned than him, so he just slept peacefully.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers who were setting up secret whistles outside suddenly withdrew, Shanhu was awakened suddenly, and asked what was going on.

The soldiers said that the town was surrounded. Judging by the posture, the opponent had at least one reinforced regiment. They touched it quietly. When the secret sentry found out, the encirclement circle had been formed. According to the division commander's order, after entering the Red Army defense zone, they were not allowed to fight with anyone. Armed clashes.

The soldiers did not alarm each other, and all four groups of secret sentries withdrew back, and asked the captain for instructions on how to deal with it. In terms of the combat effectiveness and individual quality of these fighters, there was no problem at all with protecting the division commander, and there were still zero casualties. Eighty lives, even if you are lucky, but shooting is not allowed now.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room. The soldiers of the special guards were all in the northeast. They were surrounded by the Kwantung Army's Muto Shanlin Combat Team in the cave. The division commander was seriously injured and the troops suffered heavy losses. The predecessor of the Divisional Security Brigade, the Commander-in-Chief's Special Guard Corps was a great shame and humiliation to the team.

Since then, from the Commander's Special Guard to the Independent Division Guard Brigade, although the name has changed, the soldiers will never forget it, and in response to this situation, they conducted cruel devil training. The whole team vowed not to allow this to happen again.

Especially the soldiers of the special guards are all old men from the Bloody Hands. The fire dragon spewing out from the cave, and the scarred bodies of their comrades before their death all seem like yesterday, right in front of them. Today they have the advantage of discovering The opponent's actions, here is not a cave with entry and exit.

The movement and atmosphere of the room didn't affect Tang Shao's sweet dream, so Shan Hu had no choice but to wake Tang Qiuli up, tell him the situation, propose a plan, immediately break through, and bring a team of soldiers to feint attack , the division commander retreated east along the direction of Baibao and Daliang.

Tang Qiuli turned over, without raising his eyelids, and said to the big guy: "Put away the guns, lie down and sleep, as if nothing happened, don't worry, there will be no danger."

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, all confused by the teacher, thousands of people outside surrounded us, can we still sleep?

Shanhu looked at Tang Qiuli suspiciously, and just about to say something, he closed his mouth again. He was used to obeying Tang Qiuli's orders, and he was never ambiguous, and it is the same now. He made a move towards the soldiers, only special Only the guards understood the gesture, and they also lay down.

How can everyone sleep, pressing the pistol under the pillow, in the dark, wide-eyed, trying to listen to the movement outside, all envious of the calmness of the old man, the master, seeing him, and immediately snoring happily again , how about he is a division commander and he is a small officer?

Tang Qiuli was like a mirror in his heart. In the area controlled by the Red Army, there was such a large group of armed forces. It wasn't an army of the Red Army, which one could it be?I am afraid that I was targeted as soon as I entered Jintang Town, and it is very likely that the local people told the Red Army.

During dinner, I asked my boss about the situation of the Red Army, and the boss was full of praise, saying that he had never seen such an army before, and he said nothing to the common people, saying "good", it seems that the common people here It has been reddened.
