Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli led the division and pointed out that when all the staff arrived in Wuhan, they had no time to rest in the evening. They held a meeting at the Corps Headquarters of the Sulu Mobile Corps. After listening to the report of the Corps Commander Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuli made A surprising decision was made to enter the Guangdong and Guangxi regions on foot.

This decision was opposed by everyone, especially Tang Qiusheng, the commander of the Corps, and Yu Guanghan, the chief of staff, who opposed it fiercely. The influence is very strong, the independent division has not established political power in this area, and the influence has not yet affected here.

As far as Tang Qiusheng’s Sulu Mobile Corps is concerned, more than 20 troops entered forcefully, and were sometimes secretly restrained by local forces, and supply convoys were attacked from time to time. They were all said to be the work of bandits. From Qiu Sheng's point of view, they were simply a family of officials and bandits who wrote to the Hubei provincial government and demanded the suppression, but what they got was perfunctory, full of empty words and nonsense.

He ordered the local county government to send troops to suppress the bandits, and asked for a lot of medicine. Every time they said that the bandits had been wiped out, but the supply line was still attacked. The blow and heavy escort were enough to extinguish the arrogance of the bandits.

After the captured bandits were interrogated, Tang Qiusheng, who was quite stable, was furious at the facts he confessed. What kind of bandits were they? For the magistrates of the counties, all the security regiments were disarmed and disbanded wherever the brigades of the Corps were stationed, so as to ensure the smooth flow of the supply line. [

After the Central Army withdrew, the local security became more chaotic. Local toubobs, stragglers, and civilian forces were intertwined and intertwined. Five miles, one hilltop, and eight miles, one commander, with more than a dozen guns, gathered in the mountains and forests, specializing in looting houses and attacking merchants. In the daytime, they look like ordinary people, but at night, when a few people take out their knives and guns, they are like gangsters.

Because the Sulu Mobile Corps is ready to go to the front line at any time, and does not dare to devote too much energy to local security. Tang Qiusheng knows this very well, so how dare Tang Qiuli take this risk? Even if Tang Qiuli only brought Shan Hu with him, he would not stop him.

Tang Qiuli also knew why everyone was worried and obstructed, but he had to do so. Ever since he learned that the special envoys of the government and the Japanese government had used the Bagui Guild Hall in Hong Kong as a place for talks, this matter became a matter of Tang Qiuli's volition. There was a lingering cloud of suspicion that Generalissimo Jiang had reached some kind of compromise with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. Whether that was the case or not, Tang Qiuli was not sure.

The follow-up main battlefield is in Guangdong and Guangxi. Tang Qiuli is full of curiosity about Guangxi under the rule of Li Bai, who can compete with Chairman Jiang. , and the terrain, customs, and customs here. Fighting in an unfamiliar area, Tang Qiuli did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Tang Qiuli invested almost all the capital of the independent teacher here, and he couldn't help but be careless, so he had to do this. After the meeting, he left Tang Qiusheng and Yu Guanghan behind to carefully plan his plans and plans. Tell the two people, "Brother Qiusheng and Guanghan, understanding the actual situation in the place is extremely important for our next battle. Our troops have always been used to fighting with large corps, but this is not the north. We don't have a solid rear foundation , It is especially important to deal with local powerful factions, and having first-hand information will also benefit us in the future." Tang Qiuli said solemnly.

Tang Qiusheng and Yu Guanghan didn't speak. In their hearts, they had actually approved what the teacher said. After being stationed in Wuhan and Hubei Province for a few months, the two of them knew the distress. The intangible, invisible but real hostility of the local power faction made the two corps commanders feel quite constrained.

Tang Qiusheng used heavy hands several times, only suppressing the turbulence on the surface. I am afraid that the seeds of hatred have already been planted. In the dark, I don't know how many pairs of fierce eyes are watching the movement of the independent division troops. These people, Under the Japanese attack, the possibility of becoming a traitor was almost [-]%. Therefore, Tang Qiusheng and Yu Guanghan were very worried about the safety of the division commander, and this was the only reason why they tried their best to prevent Tang Qiuli from making such an arrangement.

But Tang Qiuli's words obviously convinced the two of them. In the end, Tang Qiuli had to agree with Tang Qiuli's plan to enter the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. A capable guard battalion, as a guard, this rate is completely in accordance with the standards of field troops fighting independently, equipped with weapons and medicines, without foreign aid, can persist in fighting for more than a week, from soldiers to officers, all have rich combat experience veterans.

As for walking, don't even think about it, all equipped with horses, guard brigade and guard battalion, unified under the command of Shanhu, more than 800 people, turned into a cavalry unit, Tang Qiuli prevented the two commanders from making great fanfare How to do it, according to his original intention, dozens of people will be able to carry out lightly, but who knows that such a big battle is almost like fighting a small battle. He didn't dare to say this, otherwise, the company No one can go out, so they can only stay in Wuhan.

Leaving Wuhan and heading south, he entered Hunan within a few days. Looking at the cavalry brigade of more than 2000 people, light and heavy machine guns and mortars alone are enough to equip four or five companies. He doesn't know that this arrangement is not very acceptable. As soon as he left Wuhan, Tang Qiusheng contacted Le Yiqin, the commander of the Air Corps of the Independent Division stationed in Wuhan, and Chang Feng, the chief of staff of the direct-affiliated corps of the Independent Division stationed in Changsha, Hunan, to inform them. Master's plan and whereabouts.

Le Yiqin was also in a hurry, and kept complaining, "Leave hundreds of thousands of troops behind, and just bring such a few people, is it to make everyone worry about death?" No wonder Le Yiqin complained. The scene that happened, recalling it to this day, still makes him break out in cold sweat. It doesn't matter if he dies, but if there is something wrong with the teacher, Le Yiqin dare not think about it.

"Deputy commander, what can you say?" Le Yiqin asked Tang Qiusheng for advice, "Yiqin, your aviation unit will do this. Two fighter squadrons are ready to take off at any time. The guard battalion I sent has anti-aircraft Contact the radio station, and in case of emergency, call for aircraft support," Tang Qiusheng said.

Le Yiqin is overjoyed, this is a good way, let’s arrange it immediately, he is not preparing two squadrons, but four squadrons, two squadrons of fighter jets, and two squadrons of bombers. The division commander is surrounded by a regiment, and it can also open the gap. The bombers aided by Germany are not vegetarians. They have been tested several times, and their power is amazing. Coupled with "Buddha's light" gasoline, anyone who dares to play the division commander's idea, then It is enough to live.

Tang Qiuli, who had already entered Hunan, did not know that for his safety, Tang Qiusheng and Le Yiqin were already busy and still thinking about getting rid of the brigade criminals. Shanhu came to report: "Master, we are already approaching Changsha. Go to the city to rest?" Tang Qiuli shook his head quickly, joking, seeing Chang Feng, adding another guard battalion, a multi-regiment force, is it to check the geographical situation and people's situation or go to war?

"Huzi, send a telegram to Chang Feng, telling him that we will enter Guangxi via Yongzhou, otherwise, this fellow should not be in a hurry?" Tang Qiuli ordered Shan Hu, who turned to leave, but was stopped by him again "Huzi, following so many troops, do you think it's the case?" Shanhu grinned, he knew what Tang Qiuli meant, and he felt uncomfortable. Everywhere he went, there were so many troops. The soldiers, the common people had long been scared and ran away, unable to find out anything, just thinking about it, Xiaoqiu also moved his mind.

"Come on, I'll arrange it," Tang Qiuli smiled slyly. Shanhu, who is becoming more and more clever, was admiring, when Mei Xue beside him said, "Qiuli, why do I think Shanhu has changed?" I'm cunning, did I learn from you?" Tang Qiuli was sweating profusely and was shocked, but looking at Mei Xuexie's big eyes, he had no choice but to swallow back the harsh words that came to his lips, and said softly: " Xue'er, it's not about being cunning, it's about being smart, understand?"

After a while, Shanhu came over, looking a little dejected, with a major behind him. Before Tang Qiuli could figure out what was going on, the major stood at attention and saluted, and said with a serious face: "Report, sir, independent Yao Zhiqing, major battalion commander of the Guard Battalion of the Division Sulu Mobile Corps, came to report and asked the division commander for instructions."

Glancing at Shan Hu, Shan Hu spread his arms and looked helpless. Tang Qiuli understood that this matter is difficult. Looking at this Yao Zhiqing, the lines on his face are resolute, and he is obviously a person who is not easy to adapt. "This Yao Battalion Commander, Captain Huang has already said it just now, just follow his orders." When Tang Qiuli said this, his confidence was obviously lacking.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. Before leaving, the commander repeatedly explained that it is his duty to protect the safety of the teacher. He must not leave the teacher's side at all times. Zhiqing can disregard safety, but the safety of the teacher must not be lost. This is Zhiqing's responsibility. Sorry. Obedience," Tang Qiuli swallowed hard, knowing that it would be difficult to persuade an officer with such a character, but Yao Zhiqing sealed the door shut. [

But still not reconciled, he called Yao Zhiqing aside, seeing that he wanted to chat alone, with a posture of not giving up until the goal was reached, Shanhu looked at the figures of Tang Qiuli and Yao Zhiqing, and disappeared into a small area. In the woods, I couldn't help asking Mei Xue who was staring at her with wide eyes: "Xiaoxue, do you think Xiaoqiu can do it?"

Mei Xue said: "You are more cunning than Qiu Bian, you can't do it, Qiu Li is even worse." It is synonymous with cunning, isn't this a great injustice?
