Age of Rebirth

Chapter 580 Four Killing and Pardoning ([-])

After Tang Qiuli entered the lobby of Tang Enbo's private residence, he asked Tang Enbo directly without any politeness, who ordered him to leave the established defense area and come to garrison in Xiangfan, Hubei. All the officers of the Eighth Army Corps in the hall, including Tang Enbo, were shocked for a moment.

Tang Enbofa replied that all the officers of the Eighth Army could not answer this question. No one ordered them to leave Henan. If there was an order, it was the sound of Japanese artillery.

There was a suppressed silence in the hall. Tang Qiuli stared at Tang Enbo with piercing eyes. Tang Enbo avoided his gaze. As far as the defense zone is concerned, he can't be the commander of the army.

After a while of silence, Chief of Staff Feng of the Eighth Army came out to smooth things over, stood up, and explained to Tang Qiuli: "Ming Jian, vice chairman of the general committee, because the situation was urgent at that time, the Japanese army attacked fiercely, and our army suffered heavy casualties, so we had to save money." Resist at the end of the day, withdraw to Xiangfan, preserve strength, regroup, and wait for the future to counterattack Henan. This is a last resort for Commander Tang. He judged the situation and took wise measures. He couldn’t wipe out all the troops, right? attack?" [

As soon as Chief of Staff Feng's words came out, the whole room immediately echoed. Tang Qiuli took a closer look at Tang Enbo's senior staff member. Behind the gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of cunning eyes. This sentence contains the meaning of rhetorical question, obviously very proud of being eloquent.

Tang Enbo also came back to his senses. Just now, Tang Qiuli took a shot in the head and beat him into a blindfold. The chief of staff rescued him, and his back straightened again, "Vice Chairman Tang, what Chief of Staff Feng said is that I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer based on the facts at that time?" The last sentence was full of provocation.

Tang Enbo didn't expect Tang Qiuli to come up with a posture of provoking a teacher. It seems that today's affairs are hard to be good. According to his idea, he will be soft in front of Tang Qiuli. After all, he is the vice chairman of the military committee. The boss is his own boss, at most he will spend some money, and the big things will be turned into small things. They are all on the boat of the Nationalist Government, holding the job of Chairman Jiang, and they can't push each other to a dead end.

He was thinking right, never thought that Tang Qiuli was so determined to kill him. From the moment he found him, in Tang Qiuli's eyes, Tang Enbo was already a dead person, so why did he waste so much talk with him? , because there are still a few doubts in my heart that I haven't clarified, otherwise, I'll blow his head off with one shot.

The smile on Tang Qiuli's face became even colder, "Satisfied? On the first day of the battle in Henan, your Eighth Army Corps cut off all contact with the General Command. The subordinate divisions did not receive any orders from the Corps Headquarters, and fell into their own hands. In the chaotic state of the battle, my Yellow River Basin Theater Command did not get any news about the Henan battlefield. At that time, where was your Commander Tang? How do you explain this?"

Tang Qiuli's words pierced Tang Enbo's heart like a knife. He couldn't explain it. He cut off the connection with the Yellow River Basin Theater Command. Aren't you afraid that you, Tang Qiuli, would force me to fight with the Japanese? The Japanese Is it annoying?Over there?On the way, if I don’t run, the Japanese cannon will fall on my head. Can I say these words? Tang Enbo’s lips moved a few times, but he didn’t say a word.

It was the same Chief of Staff Feng who stood up and said: "Vice Chairman Tang, what happened is this. Commander Tang came to the front line to command the battle, accompanied by the Legion Telecom Office. On the way to the front line, he was suddenly attacked by Japanese artillery fire. Killed in battle, even the regiment commander himself was in danger, the radio station was destroyed, the confidential officer was also killed, and the code book was destroyed by artillery fire, so I lost contact with you. After that, the Corps Department was in the process of transferring. As for the contact with the general headquarters, I really don't agree with you, and you also know that the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and anything can happen."

Tang Qiuli took a look at this chief of staff surnamed Feng, and was so angry that he wanted to laugh. This guy can lie about everything, he can tell nonsense with his eyes wide open, and his face doesn't change color. He is really a master. His chief of staff gave him a kiss, and it was not in vain to regard him as the most trusted person. He was able to stand up at a critical moment. The surname Tang solved such a difficult question so easily, what a talent!

Tang Qiuli's smile faded, and he said sharply: "Enough, I don't want to listen to your lies anymore, your Eighth Army headquarters is in Zhengzhou, can the Japanese cannons hit Zhengzhou from Anyang? Your Tang Enbo's headquarters, the front The more intense the sound of the guns, the farther you are from the front line. No matter how much you argue, it will not change that you, Tang Enbo, feared the enemy like a tiger and fled the battle. As a result, the Henan defense line was occupied by the Japanese army. Anyang, Hebi, Xinxiang, and Zhengzhou fell one after another. , the gunshot was one hundred and three, I'm afraid your escape speed, Tang Enbo, is more than that?"

"As a soldier, I fled before fighting. There were 23 troops in the sky, but I didn't resist. Hearing the sound of the Japanese artillery, I was defeated for thousands of miles, lost the city and lost the ground. I just wanted to run for my life, refused to accept the orders of the superiors, and fabricated all kinds of lies. Intent to get away with it, and you, Tang Enbo, are guilty of that one!"

At this point, Tang Enbo fully understands that the intention of the surname Tang is not to cheat, but obviously to get the head of me, Tang, who has been on the battlefield for many years and has been in the officialdom for decades. You are now in my territory and you are not a husband, so don’t blame me, Tang, for being cruel. If you insist on getting along with me, you will quietly kill Tang in Xiangfan, destroy the body and wipe out the traces. Anyway, no one will know He has been here before.

In other words, Tang Enbo is bold enough to attack the No. [-] man in the government, probably in his heart, except for Generalissimo Jiang, who blocked his way to promotion and fortune, he dared to attack. I don’t know what confused him. Head, so desperate, thinking of this, Tang Enbo's heart of fear disappeared, coupled with the previous arrangement, it also made him a lot more courageous.

He looked at Tang Qiuli without any fear, and said, "Vice Chairman Tang, I, Mr. Tang, withdrew troops from Henan to preserve our strength and to carry out Chairman Jiang's instructions. Besides, the command system of my Eighth Army Corps , directly under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Military Commission. Although it is temporarily assigned to the control of the Yellow River Basin Theater, you are also indirect command, and you do not belong to each other. One soldier in the Eighth Legion, don’t even think about touching a single hair of my Tang Enbo! Don’t worry, my 12-strong army of Tang is not a vegetarian either!”

This has been made clear, you Tang Qiuli is not qualified enough, you can't do anything to me, you are not under your command, and no one except the old man wants to touch my finger, this is tantamount to tearing your face openly. You all cheered for Tang Enbo's words. What he said was so fucking tough. Yes, it's not your business. Our backer is Generalissimo Jiang. What can you do to us?For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense, and the officers below were also ready to move.

Tang Qiuli looked at it with great interest, and the senior officers of the Eighth Army Corps who were chattering below had brighter smiles on their faces, but their voices were chillingly cold, "Really? I, Tang Qiuli, can't take you How about Tang Enbo and the Eighth Army? Just because you belong to the Central Military System? Regarding the defense of Henan, I sent you a special telegram, asking you to make careful arrangements, and never be negligent, so as to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Henan at any time. What is the result?"

"In the war in Henan, on the first day of the war, your two trusted divisions fled to the area of ​​Lin County without firing a single shot. The Japanese occupied Anyang without bloodshed, and opened the north and south gates of Henan. The Japanese army who attacked Anyang was only one brigade. The strength of the regiment and the importance of Anyang, I have also reminded you, but you put your cronies, who have no combat effectiveness and only know how to make money from the country, in such an important place. It's one of your crimes, Tang Enbo."

"In Hebi World War II, General Liu Zhaoyu's 53rd Division had already withstood the Japanese attack, but you, Tang Enbo, ordered the 53rd Division to defend the position, but secretly ordered your trusted 87th and 89th Divisions to abandon their positions and flee. The defenses on the left and right flanks were in vain, the Japanese army surrounded them on all sides, more than 53 soldiers from the 53rd Division died for the country, and General Liu Zhaoyu died in the line of duty, this is the second crime of you, Tang Enbo."

"Fighting again in Xinxiang, the 67th Division has successfully stopped the Japanese attack momentum. If you mobilize reserve forces at this time and join the Xinxiang battlefield, the Japanese army must not go any further. But you, but you secretly ordered the 61th Division and the confidants The [-]st Division abandoned its position, and the order given to the division commander, General Cao Guangtu, was to stand still, causing the [-]th Division to fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army. More than [-] officers and soldiers of the whole division fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for a day. One person escaped and fought to the last. , all died for the country, and the division commander, General Cao Guangtu, was killed in battle. This is the third crime of your Tang Enbo."

"In the fourth battle of Zhengzhou, the three divisions you guarded in Zhengzhou received your order to abandon Zhengzhou and flee south. Zhengzhou was lost without a fight. The Japanese army committed heinous crimes in Zhengzhou. So far, the front line from Anyang, Henan to Zhengzhou has been completely defeated by the Japanese army. The loss of the Japanese army is slight. With the strength and equipment in your hands, Tang Enbo, it is not difficult to severely injure the Japanese army. After the Fourth World War, the Japanese army has already gained an advantage in Henan. Going north can threaten our troops in the Yellow River theater, and going south can support the Songhu battlefield. Our *** troops formed an encirclement trend, and they could also drive straight into Wuhan, and the overall situation of the war fell into a passive state. This is the fourth crime of your Tang Enbo.” [

In the hall, only Tang Qiuli's voice like the cold wind passed over the hearts of all the officers of the Eighth Army, and Tang Enbo's face was extremely ugly. What Tang Qiuli said was the truth, no matter how much they argued, they could not change the facts. However, Tang Enbo had a doubt in his heart. How did Tang Qiuli know all this?
