Age of Rebirth

Chapter 640

Tang Qiuli commanded the troops, attacked suddenly, and opened the first Japanese blocking position, but had to face the blocking and interception of the two Japanese regiments. The lazy defense of the Japanese troops unintentionally added variables, which he did not expect. The Japanese army on the opposite side has established a solid blocking line, and it is possible to force an assault and wipe out the entire army.

Fortunately, the guard brigade and the fifth special warfare unit occupied the commanding heights on both sides, and the Japanese army could not rush into the valley, forming a situation of facing each other, but they couldn't afford it, and the Japanese army chasing behind had also exchanged fire with the blocking troops sent by Shanhu. The situation is critical. Is it going to be dumpling stuffing for the Japanese army today?Tang Qiuli muttered to himself, but two more planes came from the sky, adding to the danger.

The two planes circled for a circle and swooped down. Tang Qiuli shouted: "Pay attention to air defense, Shanhu, and organize anti-aircraft fire!" The dust on the ground rose violently, and the Japanese soldiers fell down one after another screaming. The ferocious firepower suddenly became dumb. Tang Qiuli shouted, hurry up and attack!It's too timely, the two planes in the sky are simply life-saving Bodhisattvas!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army being beaten up by the planes in the sky, the troops rushed towards the Japanese army like a tide. The two planes were on the opposite Japanese position and kept shooting, forcing a gap. For more than 30 minutes, the two planes continued to fly After repeatedly strafing the Japanese army's position, Tang Qiuli could see clearly from the logo of the plane that it was a plane of his own air force. He didn't know who the pilot was, and it came too timely. [

In the distant sky, there was another loud roar. It was not two planes that came back, but a large fleet of more than a dozen planes. They flew over the Japanese positions. Several planes flapped their wings and landed for a while. The explosion was heavy, including the big killer "Buddha Light" napalm, and the Japanese army's position was a sea of ​​flames, with thick smoke billowing and flames flying.

The blow from the large aircraft fleet in the sky was not something the Japanese infantry could bear. The troops quickly rushed out of the mouth of the valley, and even the guard squadron that blocked the Japanese pursuers also withdrew. The troops did not retreat to the planned Xinxiang, but Take Linqi in Henan Province to the direction of Hebi.

The three regiments of the Japanese army in the back joined forces and chased after them. However, the troops were not so nervous. After the large fleet returned, there were always two fighter jets escorting the sky. This wave flew away, and the next wave will catch up immediately. At that time, the Japanese pursuers were beaten to the ground, and even though they suffered heavy casualties, they still clung to them.

The troops on the ground were marching, and the planes in the sky were escorting them, turning their noses from time to time, and shooting at the Japanese troops falling a few kilometers behind. This strange scene stunned two company-level officers of the Eighth Route Army, and they peeked ahead from time to time. Tang Qiuli, who is still unrestrained and unrestrained, looks like a monster. How much energy does this young commander-in-chief Tang have? The infantry and the protection of the plane, every time the plane returns, it shakes the wings a few times, although I don't know What does it mean? Let’s have a rough idea. It is a tribute to a certain big man who has worked hard on the ground. It is really an eye-opener.

In the evening, when the troops arrived in Linqi, Tang Qiuli immediately turned on the radio and contacted all the troops. When he got the news that the division commander had escaped safely and left the Taihang Mountains, the entire independent division was greatly relieved from top to bottom. The teacher is fine, no matter what price you pay, it is worth it.

The accompanying Chief of Staff Yang Ketian reported that after counting the number of people, more than 37 troops were killed or injured in the breakout battle, of which [-] were killed, most of them were soldiers from the Sun Zhenbang Corps. The Japanese army behind them was still chasing after them. Layers of blocking had been arranged, Tang Qiuli was annoyed for a while. In less than two hours of fighting, his troops had suffered so many casualties. The little devils behind him were really hateful. Are these bastards still going to Jinan?

It's a pity that I don't have soldiers now, and Lin Qi can't stay for long. Shan Hu brought in an officer. Tang Qiuli knew him. , or the letter of appointment issued by himself, Geng Zhijie saw his division commander with an excited expression on his face, and stood at attention to salute: "Reporting division commander, Geng Zhijie, commander of the third brigade of Shaanxi local police, ordered by Commander Yuan to lead the brigade of nine thousand six More than a hundred officers and soldiers have arrived to protect the safety of the division commander, please give instructions!"

Tang Qiuli was delighted, but he had some doubts. Yuan Jinghao's Shaanxi garrison had three brigades, and each brigade had no more than 3000 troops. How could there be nearly [-] more people? The soldiers dug out in his hand, in fact, he wronged Yuan Jinghao, but he never reached out his hand, they were all recruited locally, his troops stationed in Henan, compared with those soldiers from Tang Enbo's Eighth Army Corps, and they stood up.

The reputation of Yuan Jinghao's army has been well-known in the Henan area. The strict military discipline, the good demeanor of the soldiers, and the most important thing is that they are absolutely unambiguous in fighting little devils. The passionate young people around the station have joined the army one after another. Now, Yuan Jinghao's original three The brigade has been expanded to nearly 1 people, and two new brigades have been expanded. The strength has reached nearly 5 people. , It is also the specialty of these Communist Party members.

He learned that the division commander was surrounded by the Japanese army in the Taihang Mountains and lost contact. He was very anxious. Later, after learning the exact news of the division commander, he was a little relieved. Judging from the division commander's current position, after coming out of the tree palm valley, The shortest route is to go to Hebi via Linqi, and he immediately dispatched Geng Zhijie's third brigade stationed in Hebi, with all members, to meet the commander and the others in Linqi area.

When he arrived in Henan, the safety of the division commander was all on his shoulders. He gave Geng Zhijie an order that even if the division commander broke a little bit of skin, you should bring your own dry food and come to the regiment headquarters to feed the horses. How dare Geng Zhijie be negligent? , the whole brigade marched for eight hours, and they just arrived, just in time to meet Tang Qiuli and the others.

With the strength of a brigade in his hand, plus the troops following him, more than 1 people, he can completely eat the group of mad dogs and little devils chasing him, and kill them in Linqi. He immediately held a battle meeting, Arranging Linqi's battle plan, Shanhu was unwilling to fight this battle in his heart, and escorting Xiaoqiu to Jinan safely was his only mission. If possible, Shanhu would not encounter even a single Japanese soldier on the way , Protecting such a famous and famous person, if you say that Shan Hu doesn't worry about it every day, it's a lie.

But looking at the enthusiastic Tang Qiuli, Shanhu didn't say anything, but strictly ordered the personal guards of the special guard to be optimistic about the division commander and never let him go to the front line, and the two division commanders' wives in the division headquarters, let alone have a little A mistake, Tang Qiuli was full of confidence in the temporarily organized battle of Linqi. The Japanese army chasing after him, combined, was less than the strength of a brigade, more than 8000 people. His own strength was superior. The most important thing was that the Japanese army still I didn't know that Geng Zhijie's third brigade had arrived, which was the basic guarantee for killing these Japanese troops.

After the deployment was completed, the troops were launched according to the plan. Tang Qiuli still adopted the ambush tactic, setting up an encirclement circle around Linqi, just waiting for these damn bastards to enter the net. Company Commander Wu and Instructor Li of the Eighth Route Army were invited to participate in the combat meeting. The room was full The star of the general was shining, and the two company-level officers were dazzled. Their mission had been completed. Tang Qiuli was about to send the Eighth Route Army troops back to the Taihang Mountains. The two officers had been asking to participate in the rare battle of annihilation.

Tang Qiuli thought about it, and the Eighth Route Army was fighting the Japanese army in the Taihang Mountains, and they fought harassment wars. It would be good to open their eyes, but all the officers who attended the meeting left, and Tang Qiuli felt panicked and lost. The death of dozens of soldiers, especially the six personal guards of the special guard, made him extremely sad. He was too familiar with them and regarded them as part of his life. Seeing their young smiling faces every day was already a kind of feeling. The habit is suddenly lost, and my heart is empty.

If it weren't for protecting myself, the little devil's son would not even touch a single hair of them. Suddenly thinking of Mei Xue, her pale face when she broke through, and a pain in her heart, this little girl was startled every step of the way. Amidst the tense gunfire, he was about to visit Mei Xue when the staff sent a telegram to stop him.

The telegram was sent by Le Yiqin from Jinan, "Teacher, Yiqin feels very guilty. Because of the ineffectiveness of his subordinates, he troubled the teacher and came to Jinan in person without fear of danger. As a result, he was surrounded by the Japanese army in the Taihang Mountains. What if Any damage to the teacher is the fault of Yiqin. Today, he flew to the Shuzhang Mountain Pass and witnessed the fierce battle. Yiqin was very anxious and wished to fight with the teacher immediately. Safely out of danger, Yiqin feels at ease, and is holding a meeting of all pilots, waiting for the commander to visit the Jinan Air Force! Le Yiqin wrote it himself!"

After reading Le Yiqin's self-blaming telegram, Tang Qiuli smiled. This cute guy took all the responsibility on him. It turned out that he was the one who was in the sky today. It's really hard to say how, maybe I am still fighting hard in the siege of the Japanese army?But how did he know he was in the valley around the palms?

In fact, it was because I didn’t estimate enough about the enemy’s situation and was too impatient that I had this series of thrilling adventures. However, the rewards were quite large. At least I heard the long-lost gunshots, smelled the smoke, and had the opportunity to visit the battlefield in person. What kind of long-lost feeling, Tang Long gun also shot nearly a hundred shots, otherwise, they were all rusted, so it was quite an addiction! [

Tang Qiuli, who was living in Linqi, felt that he was able to participate in the battle in person, and felt very happy. Le Yiqin, from Jinan, Shandong, was not in such a good mood. He was worried and blamed himself, which made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable. Go crazy.
