Age of Rebirth

Chapter 320: Vengeance must be revenged

The remains of the soldiers who died in battle were lying in rows on the long yellow sand without even a piece of white cloth covering their bodies. The new rising sun reflected the young faces that were already alive and bloody. Mark of.

Tang Qiuli's face was livid, and in a low voice, he said to the two special operations team leaders: "Report the number of casualties!" He knew that there were casualties in the troops, but he dared not believe that there were such a large number of casualties. Not a real scenario.

"Report to the commander, the sixth and ninth detachments of the special operations detachment had a total of 320 fighters, 210 and seven were killed, and 81 were injured." One hundred and nine people, most of them were injured.

After the two sub-captains finished reporting, they couldn't stop their tears from streaming down. These comrades lying on the yellow sand were all brothers and sisters they lived with day and night. They fought all the way from the northeast to the north of China, and they broke through many dangerous environments. Their hearts , has been torn apart in pain. [

Tang Qiuli was stunned. This is the most elite unit of the Independent Division. He and Brother Qiuquan have put so much effort into it. These soldiers are all selected from every unit in the army. Each of them has the glory of destroying the Japanese The records, themselves, are part of the combat experience of the Independent Division.

But now, those soldiers who were quietly lying on the yellow sand were killed by these horse bandits. If it weren't for this kind of positional battle, twice as many horse bandits would not be able to take advantage. Behind them, It is more than 100 scientists who are unarmed.

In order to complete the task they entrusted, they used their young and brave lives to fulfill the responsibility of a soldier. Tang Qiuli's blood boiled all over his body.

Shanhu also came to report that two soldiers from the special guards had died, and six villagers from Jintang Town had died in battle.

When did the independent division suffer such a big loss, especially the elite special operations detachment, which rarely suffered casualties.

At this moment, General Xu Haidong came over. He also learned about the casualties of the joint exploration team and wanted to come over to comfort Tang Qiuli. In General Xu's view, there is no one who survives a war. He has seen such scenes a lot. .

When the Central Red Army broke through the chairman's Xiangjiang defense line, more than 8 Red Army crossed the river in order to cover the huge central government. They fought bloody battles for several days with the Central Army, which was several times superior in number and equipment. The Xiangjiang River was stained with blood, and corpses floated on the river. Over and over, after this bloody battle, the more than 8 Central Red Army dropped sharply to more than 3.

After all, Mr. Qiu is just a businessman. I'm afraid he can't accept this cruel reality, or because he thinks about the dangerous environment, he wants to quit. It's a great loss for investors who came here because the Shaanxi-Gansu base area is not easy. This is General Xu Haidong's idea.

"Mr. Qiu..." General Xu only called out. He was surprised to find that a huge change had taken place in this quiet and young Mr. Qiu. After the battle, the veteran who has seen countless scenes of parting life and death can't help feeling cold in his heart.

Before he could speak again, "General Xu, take a step to speak," Tang Qiuli said to Xu Haidong. Xu Haidong noticed that there was a frightening cold light in his eyes.

The two of them walked to a corner, and Xu Haidong heard words that he couldn't believe, "General Xu, don't tell lies to real people, and tell the truth. My real identity is the commander of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the new North China Army Independent Division Commander, Tang Qiuli, Chairman of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee!"

Xu Haidong's hand instinctively reached out to his waist, which was an instinctive reaction among natural enemies. When he touched the cold handle of the pistol, he slowly lowered his hand and looked at Tang Qiuli with sharp eyes.

Things were unexpected and seemed absurd. After ten years of life-and-death struggle with the Kuomintang, how many comrades-in-arms and good comrades fell under the guns of the Kuomintang army, and dozens of their relatives were brutally murdered. to the bone.

Is it the deliberate arrangement of God that I am talking with a commander of the Kuomintang army here, or is it a trick of fate?Catch, kill, release?This experienced general suddenly lost his mind.

When Tang Qiuli decided to reveal his true identity to Xu Haidong, he didn't want to think too much about it. He had only one thought, this revenge must be avenged, otherwise, he would be sorry for the soldiers of the Special Operations Detachment who were sleeping under the long yellow sand. They will also let their conscience be tortured for life.

Xu Haidong settled down. He was so shocked by the sudden news that he was at a loss. A Kuomintang army commander came to the base of the Red Army. What purpose did he have?

Tang Qiuli told Xu Haidong all about the situation. He raised troops from the Northeast to fight against the Japanese invaders. In the three-year bloody battle, including his own independent division, there were a large number of CCP members, and they all held military power. Of course, Tang Qiuli also stated the nature of this army, of course, it is definitely not an army under the leadership of the CCP.

I also brought a large amount of weapons, medicines, and military supplies to the Red Army. They are in Ganquan County, and they can be transported to the area controlled by the Red Army very quickly, which also shows my sincerity.

Finally, Tang Qiuli said: "Mr. Xu, I want to reveal my identity. There is one thing. My troops are going to come here. I must avenge the sacrifices of the soldiers. I will borrow a road with your army. The army can also refuse, so I, Tang Qiuli, will not hesitate to lead the troops and fight all the way, no organization or individual can stop my action." [

The words were loud and full of determination and fear. General Xu Haidong seemed to be listening to a bizarre story. Everything was so unbelievable, but what this young man said was convincing. This is a general's intuition , even though all of this is so absurd, Xu Haidong chose to believe in Tang Qiuli, because of the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier who has experienced many battles in him.

For such a big matter, Xu Haidong is obviously unable to decide. Let a Kuomintang army go deep into the hinterland of the Shaanxi-Gansu Revolutionary Base. In case of disaster, the Red Army will lose the last place to stay.

However, the attitude of this Tang army commander was obvious and decisive, and he did not hesitate to lead the troops to fight all the way. Xu Haidong thought twice and asked Tang Qiuli to wait for a while, and he sent a report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, asking for instructions on how to deal with it.

After waiting for a long time, the remains of the sacrificed soldiers had already been buried. More than 200 new graves were piled up on the cloudy sky, strong wind outside the Great Wall, long yellow sand and salt-alkali flats, which hurt Tang Qiuli's heart. his eyes.

General Xu Haidong hurried over with a smile on his face. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China agreed to Tang Qiuli's request, and said that the Red Army could dispatch troops, and the two armies would cooperate to fight together to eliminate the horse bandits. All matters of action.

I don’t know how Xu Haidong persuaded Li Desheng, the leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and his experienced comrades-in-arms. Anyway, Tang Qiuli’s request was fully agreed by the CCP’s Red Army Supreme Command, and he showed great enthusiasm. sincerity.

Tang Qiuli admired the leaders of the CCP very much. What a bold move this was. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still in a life-and-death situation, and there was no opportunity to improve the relationship between the two parties.

The CCP needs to take great risks. It is no coincidence that extraordinary people can do extraordinary things, and finally manage the country. The chairman of the Nanjing General Committee will never do it. This kind of thing that can seize historical opportunities.

Later, during the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Tang Qiuli learned the details. At that time, there were serious disagreements among the leadership of the CCP. , Li Desheng made a final decision, ended the heated debate, and contributed to this matter.

General Xu Haidong even went to the surviving soldiers of the special unit to inquire about the CCP members of the independent division. Among the surviving soldiers, there were really two CCP members. After asking the teacher for instructions, he told General Xu Haidong all the real situation, Xu Haidong Only then did he dare to guarantee with his head.

The remaining thing is how to coordinate the two sides. Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to the convoy staying in Ganquan, crossed the Northeast Army's defense line, transported the supplies to Sanshilipu, and handled the handover with the Red Army's receiving troops. Then quickly return to Xi'an to transport troops.

Tang Qiuli tactfully rejected the Red Army's suggestion to send troops. This is the independent division's own business, and it is uneasy to use outsiders to help.

General Xu Haidong didn't force it either. He could see that Tang Qiuli had enough confidence and strength. However, he truthfully told Tang Qiuli what he had learned.

It was only then that Tang Qiuli realized that it was not some horse bandits that almost wiped out the special warfare unit, but Ma Hongkui's troops in Ningxia. The flame of hatred in his heart was burning even more.

Saying goodbye to the sacrificed comrades and leaving the unknown Tuweizi, along the way, Tang Qiuli's heart was very heavy. The peaceful faces of the soldiers flashed in front of his eyes from time to time. Xu Haidong didn't say much. To Tang Qiuli, the reconnaissance company of the Red Army has been active in the Yanchi area for a long time, and the geographical conditions are quite familiar.

When they arrived in Dingbian County, Xu Haidong and Tang Qiuli shook hands tightly, shook them a few times, and said nothing more. There is a natural spiritual connection between real soldiers, which can be described by language, perhaps it is sympathy Bar.

Then, turning the horse's head, under the escort of several guards, General Xu Haidong rode his horse out of Dingbian County. Looking at General Xu's generous back, Tang Qiuli felt lost and could not gallop side by side with this famous general. The battlefield is his great regret.

Tang Qiuli used Dingbian County as a temporary headquarters, and he found that General Xu Haidong, who seemed rough and bold, was actually a very careful person, perhaps because he was afraid of causing many inconveniences.

He temporarily withdrew all the Red Army troops and offices in the county town, giving Tang Qiuli a complete and unrestricted space, which also indirectly showed an attitude.
