Age of Rebirth

Chapter 490: Han Fuju Runs Away

Liu Tiehan stood blankly in Han Fuju's office like a garbage dump, looking at the crooked photo of Generalissimo Jiang on the wall, Nai's wry smile, he couldn't express his mood at the moment, maybe, contempt to the extreme, just contempt, Han Fuju had a total of 26 horses in his hands. Before that, the national government had also supplemented a large amount of equipment produced by the Hanyang Arsenal. The weapons and equipment were also among the top among the powerful groups in various places.

Han Fuju served as governor of Luda for seven years. During his tenure, he ruled out dissidents, attacked the influence of the central government in Lu, withheld local tax revenue in Shandong, and expanded his private influence. He was fat and strong. The huge Shandong was his private garden. He didn't even see the face of the Japanese army, only heard the sound of the artillery, and left the huge Shandong, Jinan, and the Dongzhi troops who were still fighting the Japanese army, and ran away. What did this person do? For, disgusting.

Liu Tiehan didn't know how he got out. The Shandong provincial government building was like a deserted cemetery. He didn't give up. He hoped that there were troops who hadn't escaped with Han Fuju. He drove to the street, and there were people preparing to flee everywhere. Not a single soldier could be seen.

The car turned around a secluded street, and there was rude shouting and cursing. Liu Tiehan ordered to stop. When he came down, he saw a group of soldiers. Looking at the style of military uniform, they were soldiers from Han Fuju's Third Army, and they were grabbing a carriage. The driver of the carriage was an old man who was nearly 50 years old. His face was covered with blood, and he probably couldn't bear to part with the carriage that supported his family, so he held on to the reins. [

Liu Tiehan stepped forward to stop. The soldiers of the Third Army stopped their hands when they saw a lieutenant general from the Central Army system. The leader was a second lieutenant with a smoky face. He looked like a heavy smoker, baring his mouth. Da Huangya asked with a smile on his face: "Sir, what is your business? We are under the order of Chairman Han to requisition civilian vehicles and deliver military supplies. Never thought that this troublemaker, regardless of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, If you don’t cooperate, the brothers will punish you slightly.”

Liu Tiehan didn't have the mind to pay attention to his nonsense, finally met the soldiers of the Third Army, and asked some clues, "I ask you, which army are you from, and where is the army currently stationed?" He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart .

"We belong to the 51st Division of the Third Army. The troops are, are, are..." The smoker second lieutenant suddenly stammered. The gunfire from the direction of Dezhou was frightening. With one order, 26 horses abandoned the defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River, which was built with strong fortifications. Like a flood, one raced one by one, and Sa Yazi ran south.

I don’t know where another rumor came out, saying that the 10,000+ troops directed by the Independent Division East had been made dumplings by the Japanese, and even the commander-in-chief Liu Tiehan was killed in battle. It was like a pack of wolves chasing after them. The high-ranking officials rode in chariots, while the small ones rode horses. Soldiers could only use their two feet.

This group of defeated soldiers took advantage of the chaos and snatched a lot of valuables from the common people. They were worried that they couldn't take them away. The old man drove over with a carriage. How could he know where the troops had gone? He didn't even know where he was going?

"Well, sir, this is a military secret, so don't let it out casually. If you have nothing to do, don't hinder the brothers from performing military duties!" The guy rolled his eyes and simply avoided talking about it. It's not that the official is smearing oil on the soles of his feet and slipping fast. Where can there be a guy with no eyes, pretending to be a big clove of garlic, you ask me, I'll ask that master?

When the soldiers are in a panic and go about their own affairs, it is serious to get enough benefits. If you mess us up, don't care if you are a lieutenant general or some fucking sauce, you will be shot down with one shot. Confrontation to the death, right now, I am Boss, this guy became malicious, and his words became more rude, and his attitude became more and more arrogant.

Liu Tiehan understood that Han Fuju's troops had already dispersed. They were a group of broken soldiers who took advantage of the chaos and looted. "The guard platoon, shoot down their guns, so as not to harm the people again," Liu Tiehan ordered, and then, Turn around and walk to the car.

"Shout, it's serious, without a gun, what are we going to eat and drink, this is cutting off our way of life, brothers, copying guys!" The second lieutenant, a big smoker, yelled, stretching his hands to his waist, "Bah " With a clear gunshot, a bloody hole the size of a thumb appeared on the forehead of the second lieutenant of the smoker, and he fell to the ground like a wooden stake.

This was played by Liu Tiehan's bodyguards. To become the bodyguards of the commander-in-chief of 10,000+ troops, is his skill not enough?There were a few broken soldiers who didn't know how to look, and they wanted to do something, but their foreheads were blocked by the cold and hard muzzle of the gun. They were so frightened that they let go of their hands and the big gun fell to the ground.

After cleaning up these routs, giving some money to the old man who was beaten, and sending away the thankful old man, Liu Tiehan stood on the streets of Jinan, looking around in a daze, what should he do next?The Texas front line is anxiously waiting for reinforcements. The division commander has sent troops from Hebei to reinforce them, as well as Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, but that will take time.

He suddenly remembered that when he came to Dezhou to deploy his defense, he arranged a reinforcement battalion to watch Han Fuju's Third Army Air Force. He didn't know what was going on, but Han Fuju took away the plane. "Go to the airport!" Liu said. Iron Man finally has some direction.

When I arrived at the airport, I heard the voice of asking for passwords from a long distance away. Liu Tiehan felt very cordial. This is the northeast accent unique to Dongzhi fighters. The airport has been controlled by the army. Unexpectedly, he quickly removed the roadblock and ran to call the battalion commander.

After a while, a large group of people ran from the airport. It was the battalion commander. Liu Tiehan knew his name was Su Qi. The strange thing was that there were more than a dozen officers in Han Fuju's uniform, all of whom were not low in rank. Five of them are still major generals, and on the runway of the airport, military tents are tied up one after another, and they are lined up densely and far away.

Before Liu Tiehan could ask, the officers of the Third Army came over to salute and reported their families: "General Commander Liu, Feng Kai, Commander of the 82rd Division of the Third Army, Chen Guozhu, Commander of the 53nd Division, Liu Jinlong, Commander of the 45rd Division, [-] Liao Zhenbang, commander of the division, and Wang Yinshan, commander of the independent brigade, "The other officers are all commanders under them.

After introducing themselves, these officers lined up neatly in front of Liu Tiehan, full of military aura, and everyone looked serious, as if they had made a major decision. Liu Tiehan had already estimated the general situation of the matter. The officer in the army was unwilling to follow Han Fuju, so he took the initiative to contact his troops.

Liu Tiehan shook hands with everyone affectionately, and then introduced them to the basic situation of the Texas battlefield. Hearing the eyes of these officers of the Third Army, they looked fascinated. The troops fought a bloody battle with the Japanese in Texas, and the battlefield was stained with blood, but their own commander, who didn't even see the Japanese, ran away, really disgraced the Chinese Communists, and he was still a senior member of the party. Fortunately, Han Fuju was still wearing that general uniform.

In the evening, from the introduction of his subordinates, Liu Tiehan learned what happened. It turned out that on the night of November 20, Han Fuju issued an order to abandon the defense line of the Yellow River. , order, and direction, just to say, retreating to the south, the Third Army was thrown into disarray.

Han Fuju gave the order, and before the troops began to withdraw, he took his cronies and gold and silver treasures and ran to the Jining area in the southwest of Shandong. The commander-in-chief ran away first, and the remaining soldiers had no idea , Coupled with the rumors that continue to circulate, from Jinan to Henan and Jiangsu, there are routs everywhere, looting all the way, and the common people have suffered. [

Before escaping, he was reluctant to let go of the air force he had spent a lot of money to raise, so he sent his personal guards to the airport, ready to intimidate the pilots, and flew the plane to Jining, where there was a field airport.

Unexpectedly, a reinforced battalion in Dongzhi, in accordance with the advance order of commander-in-chief Liu Tiehan, preemptively occupied Jinan Airport, stabilized the situation here, appeased the fluctuating pilots and ground crew, and had an incident with Han Fuju's personal guards. A fierce exchange of fire broke out and defeated them. The army's radio station was damaged in this battle, and it was impossible to get in touch with the general.

The next day, these officers from Han Fuju's army came to the door and explained their intentions. These are all officers who have received military school education and come from regular courses. The blood of soldiers in their bones has not cooled down, and they don't want to follow Han Fuju. Deserters, coupled with the fact that Han Fuju is not popular with Han Fuju at ordinary times, is listed as a non-directed army, often lacks food and pay, and the equipment is much worse than Han Fuju's cronies. He has long wanted to leave Han Fuju, but he has no chance .

Now, Han Fuju ran away first, and the officers at all levels took care of each other. Their troops were usually trained quite strictly. , They heard that there was a battle at Jinan Airport, so they came to the door and asked to be placed under the command of Dongzhi.

Even though Su Qi is just a small battalion commander, in the south of the Yellow River, he is the only army in the east, and he agreed on behalf of the commander-in-chief, and allowed the original Han Fuju's troops to station at the airport, which is also convenient for unified management. , Su Qi was very embarrassed, for such a big matter, he didn't ask the general manager for instructions, he was just a small battalion commander, and felt a little overstepping his authority.

Liu Tiehan's heavy heart suddenly relaxed. He admired Su Qi's handling, and he already had the idea of ​​promoting him. Four whole divisions plus one brigade, but nearly 7 troops, were on the front line in Texas. Under the situation of tight military strength, what a new force this is. Han Fuju ran away, and there were people who were unwilling to be deserters. Liu Tiehan was as happy as picking up a treasure.

As for the suspicion of looting while taking advantage of the fire, Liu Tiehan had no worries at all. Han Fuju left his troops and ran away by himself. As the highest military officer of the Central Army stationed in Shandong, he has the power to control all armed forces in Shandong. Don't be a fool who came to your door.
