Age of Rebirth

Chapter 390 Restructuring the Shaanxi Army

After the Shaanxi mutiny subsided, Tang Qiuli spent more than a month walking all the troops of the Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army. Talk, grasp their psychological dynamics.

In addition to understanding the soldiers, weapons and equipment of the army, it is mainly to understand the discipline, combat effectiveness, and morale of the soldiers.

He drove lightly, with only Mei Ting, Shanhu and twenty-odd soldiers of the special guards. He was determined not to be accompanied by senior officers. He went deep into the grassroots company, ate and lived with ordinary soldiers, and lived with them for a few days.

At the beginning, the soldiers all respected this high official, Tang Qiuli didn't care, but after getting along for a few days, the soldiers all regarded this General Tang as someone who could speak their minds, and made him understand A lot of first-hand information. [

He also had a good understanding of the basic situation of the Northeast Army and the [-]th Route Army. Tang Qiu had no choice but to do so. How to deal with the Northeast Army and the [-]th Route Army had always been the most prudent thing for him. Tang Qiuli did not want to let , the two troops with the glorious tradition of the Xi'an Incident have become historical nouns in their own hands.

In that case, he would feel uneasy in his conscience, and he would feel sorry for Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, two close friends. Although doing so was very much in the mind of Chairman Jiang and some high-ranking officials in the government, their original intention was to make these two heads rebellious. The army, become history, the more fragmented the better.

The hard work of more than a month has not been wasted, and the harvest has been great. The officers and ordinary soldiers of the Northeast Army at all levels have a generally good impression of Tang Qiuli. There is a letter from Young Marshal Zhang, and because he is also a fellow in the Northeast. , the vast number of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army unconsciously regarded Tang Qiuli as replacing Zhang Xueliang, becoming their new spiritual leader, the actual leader, and their backbone.

Because of Zhang Shaoshuai's detention, the Northeast Army was on the verge of falling apart, its hearts were scattered, and its cohesion declined sharply. Since Tang Qiuli took over, he has solved their urgent practical problems materially and calmed down their confused and hesitant mentality spiritually.

Moreover, Tang Qiuli also opened a political tutoring class for officers at all levels of the Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army. theme, gave several lectures.

This skill is very powerful. It unifies the minds of officers at all levels and makes them clear their future direction. Tang Qiuli looked at the different looks of the officers and was amazed at the power of the CCP's political and ideological work. This is called politics. Command.

Tang Qiuli's appearance just in time filled the spiritual gap left by the Northeast Army who left home and was notorious for not resisting Zhang Xueliang's sudden detention. With his unique personal charm, he became an officer of the Northeast Army at all levels. And the spiritual pillar of ordinary soldiers.

From then on, these officers no longer called Tang Qiuli by his official title. Chairman Tang or Commander Tang all called him Marshal Tang. How dare you be.

Tang Qiuli stopped him many times. Nai, these officers came as soon as they opened their mouths. They barked very naturally, and there was such an affectionate energy. In the words of these Northeast officers: "Screaming like this makes you look close." , has a taste of hometown, and besides, we, Marshal Tang, can bear the title even if we put that bump on it."

Therefore, the name of Marshal Tang spread within the Northeast Army, as did the 10,000th Route Army. Compared with the 6+ Northeast Army, the [-]th Route Army with only more than [-] people seemed weak, especially It was after Yang Hucheng was forced to go abroad.

I am always worried about being annexed by the Central Army or foreign forces. These soldiers of Shaanxi origin are all locals. They don’t want to be confused and be dragged into cannon fodder by other forces. The hearts of Army officers and soldiers.

They also followed the name of the Northeast Army and called Tang Qiuli Marshal Tang, and this Marshal Tang was so bold that he shut down the salary for several months at once, greatly improving the living conditions and food standards of the troops. Now, I no longer need to sleep in a cold kang or a cold room, eat corn bread twice a day, and the vegetable soup is so scarce that people can see it.

Take care of people first, especially when recruiting troops. After all the preliminary preparations were made, Tang Qiuli returned to Xi'an and began to reorganize the troops stationed in Shaanxi.

After more than a month, he has obviously darkened and lost a lot of weight. Mei Ting is so distressed that he cooks tonic for him every day, and resolutely interrupts Tang Qiuli's daily married life. The reason is that for the sake of his body, It made him very depressed.

For more than a month, Mei Ting has been by Tang Qiuli's side every step of the way. Regarding how powerful her husband is, Mei Ting feels that she has new discoveries every day. Her husband is like a book that can never be finished. Turning a page , which is brand new content.

At the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, on the west bank of the Yellow River on the Shaanxi side, across the river is Fenglingdu with a long history. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun renders the sky full of sunset glow, setting off the purple, gold and dark red of the Loess Plateau. The strong northwest wind in winter whizzes past. In the empty sandy land by the river, the yellow water is rustling and the westerly wind is blowing. Several cars are approaching from a distance. There is dust billowing like an earth dragon behind the cars. The cars approach the shore and come to a sudden stop.

A group of fully armed soldiers quickly set up a cordon on the shore. Seven or eight young people got off from the last two cars, all dressed in casual clothes. The leader had mottled blue hair mixed with strands of white hair. Those who are in charge will be surprised to find that the leader is Tang Qiuli, who holds the actual power in the north.

And the other few people were sentenced to death. The core figures of the former young men of the Northeast Army, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and others, hadn't they already been shot?How did he appear here alive, and accompanied by the eminent official Tang Qiuli himself?

How to deal with Ying Detian and others is a matter that makes Tang Qiuli more entangled in his heart. The Xi'an Special Military Tribunal puts the final judgment in his own hands. [

These few people were not heinous people like Zhang Mutaona, but because they were deceived, they were full of enthusiasm and lost their minds, so they made a big mistake, killing them, how could Tang Qiuli bear it?

These people are all young and promising military officers with the heart to kill the enemy and serve the country. Tang Qiuli did not sign the verdict, and the special military court did not pursue the matter, so the case was shelved. Everyone knew that the deceased was dead. , What's the use of killing them?

However, the Northeast Army and the others absolutely cannot stay any longer, so Tang Qiuli thought of a way. Now, he is to send them east across the Yellow River, via Beiping, and return to their hometown in the Northeast. The enemy's ambition to serve the country broke out a world.

Tang Qiuli gave Dayang 1000 yuan as a gift to each of them, and wrote a letter to General Yang Jingyu of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, introducing the situation of several of them in detail.

The ferry has already docked at the shore wharf. Ying Detian and the others never expected that things would end like this, and the marshal personally sent them off. Five or six men knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists together: "Daddy!" Handsome, I will repay your kindness in the future!" After speaking, he turned and left resolutely, and the man's tears dripped down on the long yellow land.

Watching the ferry going away, Tang Qiuli's heart was full of thoughts. After Ying Detian and others returned to their hometown in Northeast China, they did not defect to the Anti-Japanese League. Between the white mountains and the black waters, the banner they played was the Northeast Restoration Detachment of the Independent Division.

Later, the main force of the Independent Division went out to fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army. The troops of Ying Detian and others returned to the independent division system. At that time, it was already a force of nearly 10 people. , is one of the most serious problems of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and others have offered bonus rewards for their heads, which have reached a huge amount of [-] yuan.

On March [-], one month after the Shaanxi Mutiny, the reorganization plan for the Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army was issued to two units.

After repeated changes, the strength of the Northeast Army is not as good as before. Excluding those who died in battle and those who fled, there are actually more than 17 soldiers. Tang Qiuli streamlined the troops, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled were placed in the Dingbian Special Economic Zone. Each of the major industrial and mining enterprises enjoys a monthly retirement allowance of [-] yuan, which is enough for them to live a normal life in Dingbian, not to mention wage income.

Those who are in good health but are too old will be assigned to the reserve teaching brigade of the Dingbian garrison area. They will usually be responsible for the security tasks of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone and train recruits. These people are all experienced veterans. Talents should not be wasted. , into the establishment of the battlefield.

The streamlined soldiers are all young and strong, with good political background. The headquarters of the Northeast Advance of the Independent Division was established. The deputy commander of the Independent Division, Major General Liu Tiehan, served as the commander. It had eight brigades under its jurisdiction. 5000 people.

The first brigade of the Northeast Advancement was headed by Zhao Yi, the former commander of the 57th Division of the Northeast Army. The second brigade of the Northeast Advancement was headed by Zhou Fucheng, the former commander of the [-]th Division of the Northeast Army. Miao Zhengliu, the former commander of the [-]th Army of the Northeast Army, was in charge.

The fourth brigade of the Northeast Advancement was headed by Huo Shouyi, former member of the 67th Division of the Northeast Army. The fifth brigade of the Northeast Advancement was headed by Wu Keren, former commander of the [-]th Army of the Northeast Army. The sixth brigade of the Northeast Advancement was The brigade commander was Zhang Wenqing, former commander of the [-]th Division of the Northeast Army.

The 53th Brigade of the Northeast Advancement Army was headed by Wan Fulin, former commander of the [-]rd Army of the Northeast Army, and the eighth brigade of the Northeast Advancement Army was headed by Chang Enduo, the former commander of the [-]th Division of the Northeast Army.

In addition, a mixed cavalry brigade of the Northeast Advance Command of an independent division was formed. The brigade commander was He Zhuguo, the former commander of the Second Cavalry Army of the Northeast Army. The brigade had eight cavalry reinforcement regiments under its jurisdiction, each with 300 soldiers, covering the former Northeast Army. All the cavalry units of the Northeast Advance Command are the most powerful units of the Northeast Advance Command.
