Age of Rebirth

Chapter 670 Only being a fisherman

Tang Qiuli knew the decision he was about to make and what kind of risks it entailed. This was a gamble related to the reshuffling of the cards in North China. One of the Communists, himself, and Yan Xishan was destined to be out. Without the capital to go to the gambling table, if he wins the bet, North China will be a game between himself and the Communists. Without the stumbling block of Yan Xishan, it will definitely be beneficial for the unification of the north, and the ideal hidden in his heart can be realized.

If he loses the bet, Tang Qiuli doesn't think he will lose this gamble. Looking at China today, except for Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, no one dares to be number one in front of him. At a good time, Tang Qiuli finally made up his mind to release the water and use Okamura Ningji's military action to eradicate all Yan Xishan's forces in Shanxi. The so-called borrowing knife to kill people, as for how to solve Okamura Ningji and take Shanxi into his pocket , can only see the next development of the battle situation, and then make a decision.

As for the real reason for making this decision, he will not disclose it to anyone, including the person next to him. This involves the moral and psychological bottom line of people in that era, as well as the current mainstream understanding, that is, national righteousness, despicability Whether it is insidious, or good at taking advantage of the situation, in a word, opportunities cannot be missed. Of course, careful arrangements are absolutely indispensable, otherwise, they will become the target of public criticism.

He called Chen Feng, the director of communications, and recorded the following order: "First, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison corps should immediately disengage from the Japanese troops advancing westward into Jinzhong, return to the front line of Niangziguan, and step up the construction of defensive facilities facing Taiyuan. Seize Jingxing Pass, prepare to meet the troops of the Kwantung Army going south, temporarily transfer the troops of the four brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and immediately return to the original organizational system. [-]. Liu Tiehan Dongzhi troops on the front line of Cangzhou, continue to oppress all Japanese troops on the front line of Cangzhou, and participate in the Battle of Tianjin The four brigades immediately returned to the original organizational system, and the Sulu mobile corps troops mobilized three brigades to go north to the Zhangjiakou area, where they joined the original two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade, and waited for the next step in a concealed position near Zhangjiakou. Action order." [

"[-]. The remaining troops of Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps immediately dispatched troops to the Shanhaiguan line in the east of Jibei, joined Tongbatu's [-]nd Cavalry Brigade and Bagenna's [-]th Cavalry Brigade, and prepared to block the Kwantung Army's southward corps. [-]. Yuan Jinghao The troops of Shaanxi Local Garrison Headquarters went out of Handan and waited for the order from the division headquarters to seize it. They entered the Handan-Changzhi Highway and cut off the Japanese army's logistics supply line under Ningji Okamura's headquarters. Under the leadership of Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, they are ready to support the Shanhaiguan battlefield and the Niangziguan and Jingxingguan battlefields at any time."

"The Changfeng Department of the Huangyadong Base, at the right time, together with the Eighth Route Army troops, wiped out the Japanese troops stranded around Huangyadong, and the Sun Zhenbang Department of the Yellow River Defense Army Regiment secretly followed Taiyuan to attack the Japanese army. Remember not to expose the target. There is no clear order from the division commander, not to fight the Japanese army, the above order is urgent, and all Japanese troops will implement it!" After dictating so many orders in one breath, Tang Qiuli's throat and eyes became dry, and he picked up the boiled water on the table, regardless of whether it was hot or cold. drink up.

Chen Feng hurried out, so many orders had to be sent to the commanders of each regiment as soon as possible. Tang Qiuli recalled all the orders he dictated in his mind to see if there were any omissions. This is related to the survival of independent teachers. In this big move, he will not only use Okamura Neji to uproot Yan Xishan's influence in Shanxi, but also eat up Okamura Neji's heavy army in Shanxi, or at least severely injure him.

All his deployment adjustments are to close all the passages for Neiji Okamura to return to Pingjin, forming a huge encirclement. It is best that Neiji Okamura, an old devil, has lost both sides in the fight with Yan Xishan, and it will not take too much effort to clean it up by himself. And, what’s more, it is to take Zhangjiakou and control the northwestern Hebei area. I hope this time it will be successful. The next step is to completely recover Pingjin and drive the forces of the Communists to the Northeast.

Among all the troops, Liu Tiehan's troops and Tang Qiusheng's troops have the heaviest burden. After Liu Tiehan is attached to the four brigades of Li Honggang and Han Tie's troops, the strength is only about 30. He is facing four brigades. More than [-] Japanese troops, fortunately Liu Tiehan's troops fought hard enough a while ago, the Japanese did not dare to launch a large-scale counterattack, and blindly adopted a defensive posture.

Tang Qiusheng Corps, after supplementing more than 4 coal miners, has a strength of more than [-]. It will inevitably be very difficult to face the southward troops of the Kwantung Army. Their action was to buy enough time for Zhou Yushan's transport troops in Tianjin to evacuate Tianjin. As for Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and Baoding, Tang Qiuli had no intention of sticking to it at all, and had no intention of competing with the Japanese army for several big cities necessary.

It felt like there was nothing wrong with it, but Tang Qiuli still couldn't make up his mind. He always felt that something hadn't been considered. He shook his head, wondering if he was using his brain too much. The teacher pointed out that everyone was caught by a series of violent blows by him. Orders made him tense, staff officers and correspondents kept coming in and out, but there was an atmosphere of a big battle imminent.

The reason why Neiji Okamura dared to attack Taiyuan was because he calculated that his troops were concentrated around Pingjin, and it was too late to return to the rescue. Yan Xishan poured out his main force to attack Zhangjiakou, which objectively gave Neiji Okamura a chance of success. Otherwise, with the strength of the Jin army, Yan Xishan's character of not letting go of Shanxi, is enough to fight the Japanese army to the death. As long as his troops arrive, Okamura Neiji will have to retreat in a hurry.

Among other things, Feng Jiwu's more than 8 troops alone are enough for Okamura Ningji to drink a pot, but neither Okamura Ningji nor Yan Xishan expected that they would sit back and watch Shanxi fall instead of Extending a helping hand, looking at the whole of China, who knows the trick he used. In order to make the trick realistic, he ordered the communication department to cut off all ties with the Military Commission of the Nanjing State Government and the Yan Xishan Jin Army, and closed the division headquarters All radio stations, when asked afterwards, all replied. The division pointed out that it was on the march, and for the sake of confidentiality and safety, the radio silence was implemented.

Thinking of Yan Xishan who was desperately attacking Zhangjiakou, Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing. This man is a typical person who is greedy and should suffer big losses. For the sake of Zhangjiakou, he almost evacuated all the troops defending Wuxiang. Don't you know Neiji Okamura is a man-eating wolf?When the Japanese soldiers approached the city of Taiyuan, what kind of expression did Chief Yan have? It is certain that he desperately asked himself for help. Also, he must inform the commanders of the various corps. Don’t think that you are still in the Taihang Mountains. Everyone panicked.

All the arrangements were carried out according to his own intentions. The unreliable feeling in Tang Qiuli's heart not only did not disappear, but became stronger. He cast his eyes on the map on the wall, and suddenly, his scalp tightened, and his buttocks were burned Jumping up like that, a big omission that is enough to make him regret his whole life, Dingbian!

After Neiji Okamura occupied Taiyuan and even the entire territory of Shanxi, he would never be limited to Shanxi. With Neiji Okamura's veteran military experience, he would never let go of Shaanxi. After taking Xi'an, he can also attack Henan Or Hubei, the bad thing is that there are almost no regular troops in Shaanxi. Yuan Jinghao's Shaanxi local police force and Sun Zhenbang's Yellow River defense force were all deployed by themselves, far away in Henan and Taihang Mountains, from Hequ to Fenglingdu, Along the Yellow River, which stretches for thousands of miles, there is no military defense. Okamura Ningji can cross the river at any point and attack. If he loses the fixed side, he may jump into the Yellow River.

Tang Qiuli broke out in a cold sweat. Mei Xue, who was gently rubbing his shoulder blades, was taken aback by his abnormal behavior. Xiaoxue, quickly record the order!There was no one else in the teacher's direction, the two of them were tender and affectionate, and everyone avoided them knowingly. Tang Qiuli could only yell at Mei Xue. Mei Xue realized that there must be something serious and immediately changed her role to that of a subordinate.

"Order, Sun Zhenbang Corps, the original mission is cancelled, and immediately rush to the important crossings of the Yellow River to deploy defenses at the fastest speed, and do not entangle with the Japanese army along the way, and the order is to arrive at the designated location within three days!" Mei Xue's figure flashed and disappeared in the Tang Dynasty In Qiuli's field of vision, this girl knew the seriousness of the situation, she could feel it just from his expression.

Tang Qiuli tried his best and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Damn it, Dingbian is the only important strategic rear of the independent division. I'm afraid it has already fallen into the eyes of Neiji Okamura. Who dares to say that he has another purpose for attacking Shanxi? Occupying Dingbian, just from the strength he used against Huangyadong, Dingbian still doesn't let this old devil fight his old life, it's so dangerous, God has eyes, bless the Jin army on the front line of Wuxiang, can withstand the Japanese army a little sky.

Thinking about it, I still don't feel at ease, relying on Sun Zhenbang's more than 5 troops to defend the long line of defense of the Yellow River, there is a serious shortage of troops, Tang Qiuli hurried to the communication office, and assigned Liu Hanzhang, Chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Border Special Economic Zone, and Bai Chucai, Commander of the Garrison Command Send a telegram and immediately summon reserve personnel in Dingbian to form a Yellow River defense force.

After the telegram was sent out, before Tang Qiuli's eyes, locust-like Japanese soldiers seemed to appear, rushing across the Yellow River and spreading to the whole of Shaanxi. Rivers of blood flowed from the soldiers' guns, and corpses lay all over the place. In Dingbian after the war, the hungry people cried, and the ground was full of rubble and ruins.

"Huzi! Huzi!" Tang Qiuli yelled loudly, and Shanhu ran in in response, looking at Tang Qiuli who was exhausted as if he had just crawled out of the desert in surprise, "Huzi, immediately gather the guard team and return to Ding Beside, the staff from the division will follow!" Although Shanhu didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to go back to Dingbian, he figured out something from Tang Qiuli's expression, and immediately agreed to run out to make arrangements.

Tang Qiuli had to rush back to Dingbian in person to organize such a large number of reservists to go to the front line. No one is qualified for this job. If not, they will send live targets to Okamura Ningji for nothing, and the Yellow River defense line will not be able to hold. Just when Yan Xishan was having a great time fighting in Zhangjiakou, Okamura Ningji was about to fight in Wuxiang, and the Kwantung Army's southward troops had assembled in Liaoyang, Tang Qiuli went to Zhengzhou and was in a hurry Hurry back to Dingbian.
