Age of Rebirth

Chapter 670: Taiyuan City Breakdown ([-])

In the ancient capital of Xi'an, Tang Qiuli personally murdered 270 and three people, and sent more than 180 people to prison. Xi'an's original military and political system has almost undergone a major change, and the hidden dirt has been wiped out. Citizens Applause, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has regained its vitality. Amidst the sounds of slaughter in Xi'an, happiness fell from the sky. The hero Huang Shanhu unexpectedly met his beloved lifelong partner Ouyang Lan.

Facing Ouyang Lan's persistent pursuit, his eyes intertwined instantly that night. It would be nonsense to say that Shan Hu is not tempted, but he is a man of words. At a loss, Ouyang Lan cast her eager eyes on this honest and dull man. Only in this way can he see the sincerity in his heart.

Facing Ouyang Lan's expectant gaze, Shan Hu suddenly had the courage to say, "Master, then take her with you, it's so pitiful!" It was really not easy to say these few words from the mouth of Tiehan Shan Hu, Coupled with Shan Hu's eager expression, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, and Shan Hu realized that he was teasing him on purpose. He was ashamed for a while, and rushed over, just like when they were joking when they were young, Tang Qiuli was not to be outdone. Hug together with the mountain tiger.

The three women in the room were dumbfounded. Mei Ting and Mei Xue were not Xiao Ling, and they didn't know about the deeper relationship between Shan Hu and Tang Qiuli. The deep brotherly relationship is a relationship that can entrust their lives to each other. I have never seen a majestic General of the Communist Party of China, the leader of hundreds of thousands of troops, who is like a naughty child, messing with his subordinates, which is rare. See the scene! [

Especially Ouyang Lan, when she first saw the well-known Vice Chairman Tang, the general in charge of the army, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When she saw the officers coming in and out, she treated Tang Qiuli with respect. It can determine the happiness of the rest of my life, and I dare not say a word of superfluous words. In the current situation, only one sentence can describe Ouyang Lan's feelings, incredible!

In Tang Qiuli's heart, there is something warm in his heart. After a long time, it seems that he has forgotten the fun of his youth. He has been fighting for years, facing powerful enemies, and dealing with high-ranking officials of the state government and local powerful figures. The warmth in his heart has been honed. One day, Shan Hu's subconscious actions today brought back his memories of his hometown and his childhood, until he broke out in a hot sweat, and the two waved his hands. , how disrespectful.

Looking at the almost cramped eyes of the three beautiful women, they looked at each other and smiled, and the sincere feelings they showed instantly made the eyes of the three women moist. Tang Qiuli looked at Ouyang Lan who was still in surprise and asked: " Miss Ouyang, what are your plans when you get to Dingbian?" Ouyang Lan gave Shanhu a timid look.

Tang Qiuli understood, and then said: "Miss Ouyang, is this good? When you arrive in Dingbian, you can choose any university to continue your studies, and let Huzi lead you to do it!" This is the most appropriate arrangement. With Shan Hu's name and his current status, in Dingbian and in the entire Independent Division, no one has dared not to buy him.

His good brother found his home, Tang Qiuli was in a good mood, and on the way to Dingbian, he deliberately arranged for Shan Hu to take care of Ouyang Lan, creating every opportunity for them to be together, and the relationship between Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan became stronger and stronger. Deeper and deeper, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were moved by the chivalry of their beloved man.

Stay overnight at Xin'an, and you can reach Dingbian in one day. Tang Qiuli received the battle report from Huangyadong from Changfeng. According to the division commander's deployment, the Huangyadong garrison troops communicated with the Eighth Route Army troops. , this morning, together with the [-]th Division, [-]th Division, and [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army, they launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army on the outskirts of Huangyadong. In the area of ​​more than one square kilometer, ask the division commander whether to wipe out this Japanese army immediately.

Tang Qiuli immediately called back, "The garrison of Huangyadong wiped out the Japanese army as quickly as possible, and then, with the two brigades directly under the division as the core, all the recruits who were training ended their training ahead of schedule and were organized into field brigades. The Taihang Mountain Field Corps, with Chang Feng, the chief of staff of the Independent Division, as the commander of the Corps, went to hide and wait near Wuxiang, and the garrison task of Huangyadong was entrusted to Jiang Yanming's Huangyadong Guard Brigade."

Tang Qiuli estimates that there are about 8000 new recruits trained at the Huangyadong training headquarters, but six new field brigades have been formed, and they have been trained for more than four months. After completing all the training, he can only go to the battlefield and hone in the actual battle. There is no other way. The big bag he wove for Neiji Okamura has only a gap in the direction of Wuxiang, so he has to use a brigade of recruits to plug it.

Afterwards, he sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, requesting that all the units of the Eighth Route Army, after the annihilation battle outside Huangyadong, had no choice but to immediately send troops south to the Changzhi area, looking for opportunities to destroy the Japanese army's supply line, and it would be best to occupy Changzhi. Supplementing on the spot at the Huangyadong base, he knew that the Eighth Route Army did not have the capital to fight positional warfare or fortified warfare. Therefore, Tang Qiu communicated in a deliberative tone in the telegram, and made his strategic intentions for the next step unambiguous. The concealed report was sent to General Zhu De, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army. He believed that the Eighth Route Army headquarters would actively cooperate with his strategic intentions.

On the way to Dingbian, Tang Qiuli dispatched troops and generals, but Yan Xishan in Taiyuan city lived like a year, restless. The three personal training brigades he sent to the direction of Taigu did not disappoint him. Under such circumstances, in Taigu, more than 20 Japanese troops were blocked for three days, and more than half of the brigades suffered casualties.

Finally, Zhao Chengshou's troops rushed back to Taiyuan and bought precious time. Two divisions and one brigade of the leading troops have arrived at the outskirts of Taiyuan, and the follow-up troops are continuing to approach. At this time, the battle between Taigu and Jinzhong is not optimistic. The training brigade was exhausted. At the end of the battle, Sun Chu in Jinzhong was also struggling to support him. The danger was everywhere, and the defense line was crumbling. Within a day, there were several emergency situations. Fortunately, more than 8 Japanese troops did not break through.

Yan Xishan listened to the rushing phone ringing one after another in the headquarters, and he had already figured out what to do. Zhao Chengshou's vanguard was sent by him to a division in the direction of Jinzhong, and a division and a brigade in the direction of Taigu, with a total of more than 3 people. He is very clear about the role of military strength in the face of more than [-] Japanese troops.

In the past few days, he has been unable to contact Tang Qiuli, and Yan Xishan's heart is getting more and more uncertain. In North China, only Tang Qiuli's military strength can relieve the siege of Taiyuan. Others, including Lao Jiang, cannot quench their thirst. , Tang Qiuli could not be contacted, so he sent telegrams to the commanders of the independent divisions and corps. Even Liu Tiehan, who was far away in Cangzhou, also received a telegram from Yan Xishan. The division headquarters is on the march, and its whereabouts are unknown, and our corps has also lost contact with the division headquarters. After communicating with the division headquarters, we must convey the urgent telegram from Commander Yan to the division commander.

This was the result for several days in a row, Yan Xishan clicked his mouth, and he also figured out something, don't let Tang Qiuli see death and let himself be wiped out by the Communists, right?Thinking of this terrible conjecture, Yan Xishan couldn't help but fight coldly. If it was true, Taiyuan would not be guaranteed, Shanxi would be lost, and all the wealth he had accumulated for many years would also be lost. He could only hand over Shanxi to the Communists and panic A way to run.

But the battle reports from various places in Pingjin made him doubt his own judgment. Tang Qiuli's troops fought fiercely with the Japanese around Pingjin. They even fought against the Kwantung Army everywhere in Shanhaiguan. The troops couldn't get away, and they didn't care about reinforcements in Shanxi. At Niangziguan, there were more than 8 troops from Tang Qiuli. It is said that Zhangjiakou also fell into his hands, shouldn't it?

However, Yan Xishan understands that without the reinforcements of Tang Qiuli's troops, Taiyuan will definitely not be safe. Even with the reinforcements of Tang Qiuli's troops, he will be seriously injured. Should I fight to the death in Taiyuan to keep everything I worked so hard for?

Can Tang Qiuli come to reinforce, fight, losses are inevitable, withdraw, lose more, hopes and doubts, whether to fight or withdraw, several thoughts are churning in Yan Xishan's heart, and he is usually full of wisdom and quick thinking , Chief Yan, who is good at calculating, was almost tortured to the point of insanity. He couldn't sleep all night, thinking hard, looking for the safest solution.

The situation in Taigu and Jinzhong became more and more critical. The Japanese army attacked the defensive positions of the Jin army with uninterrupted continuous attacks. On the front line of Taigu, the Japanese army launched as many as five division-level attacks in one day. , The overwhelming artillery fire flooded the positions of the Jin army time and time again, and the reinforcements of a division were almost wiped out. Of the three personal training brigades, there were only less than one and a half brigades left.

On the Jinzhong front line, Sun Chu's situation is relatively better. After increasing the strength of a division, the defensive front has been stabilized, but the casualties of the troops are close to more than half. The front line can no longer support, and Zhao Chengshou's troops are still arriving one after another On the outskirts of Taiyuan, Yan Xishan immediately went to the main battlefield of Taigu when he arrived at a division. The army suffered heavy casualties, and the defense of Taiyuan became the most taboo tactics for military strategists to increase troops one by one. [

Faced with a large number of casualties every day, Yan Xishan was in extreme pain, so painful that his heart was bleeding. It was all his hard work, and the capital he relied on to dominate the three Jin Dynasties. He could support until Zhao Chengshou's main force arrived. He still doesn't understand why Okamura Ningji abandoned Tang Qiuli and suddenly asked himself to fight for his life?

Zhao Chengshou's several vanguard troops were filled into the two battlefields of Taigu and Jinzhong, where the artillery was raging, but there was no decisive change in the overall situation of the battle. The Japanese army's attack power remained undiminished. The battle continued until the evening of May [-], when the situation deteriorated further. The defense lines of Taigu and Jinzhong were broken by Japanese troops in many places.
