Age of Rebirth

Chapter 640

Tang Qiuli and his party camped in the cave. Sun Zhenbang led two companies of troops and one company of the Eighth Route Army. They happened to be operating in this area. In his hands, there are three companies plus a guard brigade with a total strength of more than 500 people.

The next step is how to cover the division commander to safely escape from the encirclement of the Japanese army. According to Sun Zhenbang's plan, his two companies will fire on both sides to attract the Japanese army to pursue and tear a hole in the encirclement of the Japanese army, creating an opportunity for the division commander to escape safely. The Eighth Route Army and the guard brigade escorted the division commander, but Tang Qiuli disagreed. The two companies would be tightly bitten by the Japanese army, and the surrounding Japanese army would surround them again.

He would never be able to trade the lives of more than 600 soldiers from two companies for his own safety. Besides, the Japanese army has not discovered himself and cannot take risks with the lives of soldiers. He flatly rejected Sun Zhenbang's offer It is suggested that the two Eighth Route Army officers exchanged glances with each other, and both could see the surprise in the other's heart.

The two of them were also Red Army soldiers who had traveled [-] miles and had fought against the Japanese army for ten years. In their memory, no matter how many soldiers' lives sacrificed by the Japanese officers for their own survival, The most common thing, but the general in front of him categorically rejected this should be the most reasonable plan. This army, the officers of this army, what they saw in a short time tonight, let the They have a new understanding. [

Now, before that step has been reached, Tang Qiuli will certainly not risk the lives of soldiers. The most urgent task is to let the commanders of the corps know that they are safe now. He ordered to follow one of his radio stations and immediately turn on the report. , Shanhu immediately stopped and ordered a group of thirty soldiers from the guard brigade to escort the radio station to a place far away from the camp cave to send reports. Get closer here.

The order was issued, but it was absolutely necessary. Protecting the safety of the division commander was the only task of Shanhu, and Tang Qiuli could do nothing about it. Next, it was time to study how to escape the encirclement of the Japanese army. Tang Qiuli believed that at present, The marching direction of the troops is exactly opposite to that of the Japanese army. As long as they do not take the main road, they will not encounter large Japanese troops. If you transfer, you will not be bitten by the tail and chase after you.

He has only one plan. If he fights out, both Sun Zhenbang and Shanhu disagree with this plan. Let the No. [-] figure of the independent division come to the battle in person. The guns have no eyes, and the danger is huge. I know, and I will never spare the two of them lightly. It is the consistent principle of the independent division not to let the division commander put himself in danger.

The two officers of the Eighth Route Army were even more amazed. This young General of the Communist Party of China had such courage. No one could have predicted how many little devils would surround him when the gunshot fired. , the people here are either colonels or generals, and even two beautiful female officers beside them, one of them is a colonel, according to their military ranks, they are only captains, they are polite, and they don't know how deep they are, so they didn't express their opinions .

Tang Qiuli had made up his mind and began to act at dawn. Sun Zhenbang's troops were in charge of the vanguard, the guard brigade protected the safety of the division commander and civilian officers of the division headquarters, and the Eighth Route Army troops were the rear guard. Get out of the Taihang Mountains as quickly as possible, otherwise, you will be trapped here by the Japanese army for an unknown number of days. The matter of the Jinan Air Force is a top priority. The officer, of course, would not object.

It was already light, in order not to expose the target, except for the lurking post of the security brigade, Sun Zhenbang's two companies and one company of the Eighth Route Army all retreated into the cave. There were hundreds more people. The huge cave did not appear to be at all. Crowded, the troops mobilized before the battle.

Tang Qiu heard Shanhu's roar from a long distance away, this guy was mad at that one, he walked over curiously, Shanhu's face was ashen, several squadron leaders drooped their heads, he understood, Shanhu was criticizing these few The squadron leader of a guard brigade said that they did not fulfill their duties, that they had no clear reconnaissance of the enemy's situation on the marching route, and that the team did not avoid the Japanese troops in time, so that the division commander was now in danger. , you guys come to see me.

Tang Qiuli smiled secretly, Shanhu, if he cares about it, he will be chaotic. In fact, he can't blame a few squadron leaders. The Japanese troops in the entire Taihang Mountains are densely packed and frequently mobilized. Sudden and unexpected situations may happen at any time, and the troops are wandering around in the mountains. For a whole day, avoiding how many large Japanese troops and search troops, and not having a single firefight with the Japanese army, this is already commendable, embarrassing the soldiers of the security brigade.

He intends to rescue a few uncomfortable squadron leaders, but after thinking about it, he feels that it is wrong, and just about to retreat quietly, a soldier from the lurking security brigade hurried in and reported a situation. , has contacted the troops and is on standby outside the cave. According to regulations, the division commander's whereabouts have not been informed.

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed. With the members of the Special Warfare Detachment, the probability of successfully breaking through the siege was even greater. He ordered all the Special Warfare Squadron [-] to enter the cave, and the team leader came over immediately to accept the task. In fact, he had one more thing to do with Shanhu. He could see the envy in the eyes of Company Commander Wu and Instructor Li of the Eighth Route Army when they saw the equipment of their own troops. There was no way to conceal it. It was a real soldier's love and desire for weapons.

Although the troops of the Eighth Route Army have already accepted the weapons and equipment from the state government, God knows what good things those big bosses of the state government gave them by pinching their noses. It is still a reconnaissance unit. As for ordinary troops, the equipment is poor. It is conceivable that although he helped to replenish a lot of equipment, compared with the tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army, the number is far from enough. He asked Shanhu, It is to let the soldiers in the guard brigade who wear two guys wear one piece for the Eighth Route Army.

There is nothing to say about this. Shanhu has always carried out Tang Qiuli's orders without compromise. Soon, ten Czech-style light machine guns, twenty Somi submachine guns, and thirty shell guns were equipped. In the hands of Company Commander Wu, this was beyond the expectations of the two officers of the Eighth Route Army. In fact, when they saw the equipment of the Independent Division, they were almost salivating. Their own company only had two light machine guns. The best equipment is the [-] Gail that captured the little devil.

Good guy, the troops of the independent division have five light machine guns in one platoon, one submachine gun in one color, and at least a dozen grenades all over their bodies. From their expert's point of view, the bulging belts, the carrying capacity of each soldier, at least three More than 600 hairs, they are so rich that they are so greedy. Now, how much they have given, they have nothing to say except gratitude in their hearts. Not only that, Captain Huang of the security brigade sent People sent more than [-] grenades.

The soldiers of a company of the Eighth Route Army were all neatly equipped, and everyone was full of energy. They fondled the weapons in their hands, as if they were afraid of touching a little skin. Company Commander Wu and Instructor Li felt this beauty in their hearts. The equipment is absolutely unique, and the two have the same caliber, and must not be disclosed to other companies, otherwise, these hungry wolves will not snatch these treasures.

Tang Qiuli made partial adjustments to the plan. The Fifth Special Warfare Unit, as an avant-garde force, set out early to clear the way for the troops behind. Sun Zhenbang's two companies spread out on the left and right wings and supported the Fifth Special Warfare Unit at any time. He still believes that the troops trained by brother Qiuquan have much more experience in opening the way than ordinary troops.

As the morning sun rises, a round of red sun jumps out of the east. Thousands of rays of light reflect the Taihang Mountains for thousands of miles. The green pines and cypresses shake their branches slightly in the morning breeze. The picture of the great rivers and mountains and the magnificent sunrise is Tang Qiu's heart. He gave birth and ordered the troops to set off. The nimble figures of the soldiers disappeared into the pine forest for a moment. He looked back at the cave, which was a place he had missed all night, and turned to leave.

The troops marched very fast, and they avoided large groups of Japanese troops. Along the way, they encountered small Japanese troops searching for seven or eight groups, and they were all quickly killed by the fifth special warfare team. Seeing the reinforcements of the Japanese army and the roar of artillery fire at the place where the battle took place, it is right to see him off.

The combat skills of the fifth special warfare unit opened the eyes of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. They rarely used weapons, and most of them were cold weapons. Company Commander Wu saw with his own eyes that a group of more than 30 little devils had no time to fire a single shot. Now, they are all lying in a pool of blood. My company, in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, can also be regarded as a unit performing special missions. *** The loss of more than half of the troops is not only the difference in weapons and equipment, but also the tactical level and the quality of individual soldiers. The difference is not a star.

Fighting all the way, the surrounding Japanese troops were left behind. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had advanced nearly 60 kilometers, and they reached a mountain pass called Tree Palm. , Exiting the mountain pass in front, there were two regiments of Japanese troops tightly surrounding the exit and setting up checkpoints. [

From the map, this is the only road leading to the direction of Henan. It is an important stronghold of the Taihang Mountains where the Japanese army invaded. I don't know how many Japanese troops followed, and I fought this way. According to the location of the battle, it is not difficult for the Japanese commander to figure out his own route.

There is a strong enemy in front, and there are chasing soldiers behind. It is a taboo for military strategists to face the enemy on the back. They turned to Tang Qiuli, who had a calm face.
