Age of Rebirth

390 Chapter Seven

It's no wonder that the Japanese Army Base Camp and the North China Garrison Headquarters were nervous. Tang Qiuli's grass-throwing stick was too scary. More than 60 troops spanned the four northern provinces and the Pingjin area, and there was too much movement. What's more, The troop under the command of the China Devil Tang Qiuli has far surpassed the Japanese troop in North China.

The other squadrons can be ignored. The troops of the North China Independent Division are old fritters who have fought against the Kwantung Army for many years in the Northeast. They are fierce and cruel. Almost every soldier's hands are covered with soldiers from the Empire of Japan of blood.

Such a ferocious and cunning army, together with Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil, was placed on the outskirts of Pingjin, near the Japanese army, the Japanese army base camp and the senior officers of the North China Garrison, how could they sleep peacefully?Dreaming in the middle of the night is full of gunshots.

In mid-April, the Chinese army finally stopped tossing and returned to their respective defense areas. The Japanese generals breathed a sigh of relief. In addition, the Japanese army in North China, after many replenishments, had reached nearly 40 troops. Thousands of people, heavy troops in hand, confident in their hearts, became more courageous, and recalculated their plan to start a war in North China. [

As a result, Japanese troops in various parts of North China began to become active, and military exercises continued, all of which took the Chinese garrison as imaginary targets and were highly targeted.

All of this was what Tang Qiuli wanted and what he needed. The Japanese army's attack in North China was not in vain.

During this period, he sent Generalissimo Jiang a long, confidential telegram, which was classified as top secret, and the telegram indicated that it could only be read by Generalissimo Jiang. The overall deployment has not yet been completed, and there is no opportunity to prepare for war with our country to wipe out the Japanese army in North China in one fell swoop.

If he was caught off guard, he would be able to curb the Japanese army's attempt to invade the south. He now has this strength and ability.

Generalissimo Chiang replied, his words were very euphemistic, but his attitude was very firm, "We must not be the first to start the war between China and Japan. After observing the movements of the Japanese army closely, there is no intention to start a war against us. If we start the war first, then it is morally right." It’s all lost, the international reputation is damaged, and the government is looking for other solutions. At this time, you must not lightly raise troops, Qiuli, your department only needs to stabilize the situation in North China, which is a great contribution to the party and state.”

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli said for a while, the current situation in North China can be seen by a blind person, and Chairman Jiang is not clear?What is he worried and afraid of?

The Japanese have come to fight at home, what morality and international reputation, how to fight, is to expel the aggressors, other ways, it is not the League of Nations, there was a riot in the Northeast on September [-], the result, the Japanese are not yet The Northeast has been occupied for six years, Maodumei is missing one, and a Manchukuo is supported. The League of Nations is not even a fart.

This is Tang Qiuli, with such a big face, let the grumpy old man, patiently, explain the truth to him in detail. I don't know how many times I scolded "Niang Xipi", and when I got an official document, I flicked it to the end, and drove it home to farm the land.

Tang Qiuli was furious and annoyed. He was quite dissatisfied with the old man. It's not that he didn't want to strike first, but he wasn't so arrogant that he couldn't afford to fight against the power of the whole Japanese nation with his own power.

Just when Mei Ting came in, seeing her husband's annoyed face, she knew that Chairman Jiang's telegram was the cause of the trouble, so she gently comforted him. Tang Qiuli complained to Mei Ting, and she was very disrespectful to Chairman Jiang. Words, Mei Ting obediently closed the door.

She knew Tang Qiuli's temper very well. Don't look at her husband who is usually kind and warm, but once he gets angry, he has the intention of killing people. However, he has no scruples only in front of her, which makes Mei Ting more and more See clearly a more real Tang Qiuli, and gradually penetrate into his inner world.

After complaining, the depression in her heart disappeared a lot, and she smiled at Mei Ting apologetically, Mei Ting smiled at it, just like watching a big boy play there, Tang Qiuli loved his wife more and more, In front of her, there is a more relaxed and casual feeling. This feeling also existed when I was with Xiaoling, but it was not as deep as it is now. Maybe it was because I was young at the time?

Mei Ting's personality has changed even more since she got married. Tang Qiuli only noticed his wife's other identity when she put on the military uniform.

The complaints belong to the complaints, the work at hand still has to be done, he has concentrated on arranging the next move, Mei Ting makes him a cup of tea, and leaves his office quietly. At this time, Tang Qiuli absolutely does not want anyone people bother.

Please do not allow the battle, so he had to send another telegram to Generalissimo Jiang, reminding him that the focus of defense should be placed on Shanghai and the surrounding areas to prevent possible landing actions by the Japanese army and the attempt to attack Nanjing. This time, The old man returned the telegram very quickly.

Praise him for his foresight and insight, which coincides with his own thinking. The military committee will definitely make corresponding deployments. Qiuli doesn't have to worry or worry about it. Tang Qiuli knows that he has scratched the old man's itch. Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang The area is his money bag, wife, and his birthplace, and he can't afford to lose it even if he doesn't want to.

At the end of April, the troops under the Northeast Advancement Headquarters of the Independent Division had completed tactical drills and daily training. The equipment of the troops had been replaced. Many light and heavy machine guns and artillery of various calibers were added, and the firepower of the troops was greatly enhanced.

At the beginning of May, spring returns to the earth, peaches and plums bloom, new branches of willows, shallow grass are green, swallows whisper, cotton-like clouds float lazily in the blue sky, the land of Kanto is now cold in spring, and the two sides of the Yellow River are blowing warm wind, Intoxicating.

Liu Tiehan led eight infantry brigades and one mixed cavalry brigade with a total of more than 14 people. They set off from various garrisons in Shaanxi and concentrated in Luoyang, Henan. [

All of a sudden, the Henan-Shanxi Avenue was filled with cars, horses, horses, cavalry, infantry, and gun carts, rolling up yellow dust all over the sky. They were divided into two roads from Shangluo and Tongguan in Shaanxi, entered the territory of Henan, and merged into one in Luoyang.

Stopped in Luoyang for a while, after replenishing supplies and mixing medicines, passed through Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, along the left bank of the Yellow River, passed through Heze and Dingtao, and entered Shandong Province.

This was Tang Qiuli's last move in the Yellow River Basin. He really didn't have much confidence in Han Fuju and Han Qingtian's army. Historically, Han Fuju's army was far away from the Japanese, and the gunfire had not yet been heard. Just a thousand miles away.

Abandoning the natural barriers of the Yellow River and the land of Shandong, in fact, Han Fuju's troops were not incapable of fighting, and they lost such a big face because they met such a commander.

What also fascinates him is that Han Fuju has an air force in his hand. Although the number of aircraft is not large, they are all old-fashioned biplane aircraft, but they are guys with wings after all. They can be used in critical times. For this reason, he sent a telegram to the Dingbian Special Zone, and immediately built a field airport in Dingbian as a backup, and wanted the best facilities, and trained a group of ground crews in advance.

The telegram he sent to Han Fuju was issued in the form of an order. Speaking of which, Han Fuju is still his own subordinate. All the troops of the Yellow River Basin Command can freely station in various places. The telegram to him is a notice to welcome the arrival of the Independent Division Troops, get ready in advance.

Han Fuju was quite unhappy about the troops of the Independent Division entering Shandong. In his reply to Tang Qiuli, he said: "Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, Shandong Province's defense and local security, the province's troops can fully take care of it, and it is more than enough. , to send additional troops to station, fearing a waste of military strength.”

"Furthermore, your army has come from afar. It is a guest army from a foreign country. If there is a conflict with the local sergeants, resulting in a two-part fight, it will not be justified by Vice Chairman Tang and me. Vice Chairman Tang think twice before acting. , take it back to life."

In a word, simply refuse, and none of you should come. I, Han, have settled things in Shandong Province, so you don't have to worry about it.

Han Fuju thinks that Tang Qiuli's move is to snatch meat from his mouth and food from his bowl, which is beyond the limit, and it is a great threat to his fundamental interests. Shandong is my private territory of Han Fuju, so I don't inquire about it. , since I snatched the territory in Shandong, for so many years, no military leader has sent a single shot here.

Even Chairman Jiang was no exception, but he was his immediate boss after all, and there was no reasonable excuse for his abrupt refusal.

So, Han Qingtian, Mr. Han, flew to Nanjing immediately by special plane, and directly sued Tang Qiuli at Chairman Jiang, saying that he was taking the opportunity to expand his power so that he could compete with Chairman Jiang for the world in the future.

After hearing this, Generalissimo Jiang expressed his expression, and threw him a sentence: "This is an internal matter of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command. The military committee does not need to intervene in normal troop transfers. You can consult with Vice Chairman Tang to find a good way." .”

Yep, I called back straight away, Han Fuju was so angry that he almost lost his breath, you guys have negotiated, and you are greedy for my old Han's territory, and you found an excuse to fight for it, it's all a fucking nest of snakes and rats, all the way goods.

Nanjing didn’t work, Han Fuju had a plan and kept creating troubles, Liu Tiehan dealt with it calmly, resolved them one by one, and gave Han Fuju a few hidden losses, killing more than 1 of his horses, Han Fuju was honest, but he was helpless Accepted the fait accompli.

After Liu Tiehan's troops gained a firm foothold, they quickly established defense lines at various key points at the junction of Hebei and Shandong. Some troops built a large number of fortifications on the south bank of the Yellow River, and aimed at the Japanese army's possible strategy of forcibly crossing the Yellow River. , and made corresponding deployments. This is also the second line of defense for the Northeast Advance Command of the Independent Division.

After all the affairs were properly arranged, Tang Qiuli returned to Beiping, where he had been away for several months. This was the place he was most concerned about. According to intelligence, the Japanese army frequently held military exercises in various places, and all of them were targeting the places where our troops are currently stationed. .

There is one more important thing that has not been done. Time waits for no one, so it must be arranged immediately.
