Age of Rebirth

When Tang Qiuli returned to his residence, it was already midnight, and the room was still lit. For some reason, this light overlapped with the light in that lonely private house. When the door came in, Mei Xue was under the orange lamp. Reading is Mei Xue's habit. As long as Tang Qiuli doesn't come back, she will always wait, especially tonight, when her husband is in danger, how can Mei Xue fall asleep peacefully.

Mei Xue raised her head, swept her bright eyes across his face, and gave Tang Qiuli a sweet smile. Her expression was indescribably relaxed and cute. Immediately, she noticed that her husband's face was a little pale, and his spirit was somewhat in a trance. Mei Xue immediately jumped out of bed in surprise, rushed to Tang Qiuli with a gust of fragrant wind, reached out to test the temperature of her husband's forehead, and found nothing unusual, but she clearly saw a trace of bewilderment and melancholy in her husband's eyes.

"Xue'er, I'm tired today, let's go to bed early," Tang Qiuli said, forced a smile on Mei Xue, and reached out to turn off the desk lamp. For some reason, he didn't want Mei Xue to see his strange behavior today. Li didn't sleep well at all. When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the overlapping figures of Liu Xinlan and Xiaoling, the clusters of stubborn flames in the depths of his eyes, and the Baishi mountain area in the northeast, the empty grave, and the pistol. , that heartbroken night.

Mei Xue didn't sleep well either. She has been with her husband for many years. Mei Xue instinctively felt that her husband had something on his mind today, and it was a very serious concern. She didn't know what happened to her husband that night, and she didn't want to ask. But her husband's demeanor worried her and made his heart ache. Tang Qiuli seemed to be whispering constantly in his dream.

It seemed that one dream after another was constantly pestering him. Mei Xue pressed her plump body tightly against her husband's body.To use the breath of youth to warm every dream of her husband and his troubled heart in the dream. It was not until dawn that Tang Qiuli could sleep a little more comfortably. Mei Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep tiredly. [

"Teacher, teacher." A low voice called Tang Qiuli awake.He suddenly opened his eyes, it was already bright outside, and Mei Xue beside him was still sleeping soundly, but.Unceasingly frowning his eyebrows lightly, pulling the quilt lovingly for his wife, getting up and dressing, and opening the door, a gust of fresh air instantly entered his heart.But his mind still had the dream from last night, and he was a little dizzy.

Chen Feng, Director of Communications, was holding a telegram.He said apologetically, "Master, Chang Feng, the chief of staff of the corps directly under his command, sent an emergency telegram that the Japanese army is in the south of Guizhou, launching a full-line attack on the Central Army." Number?" Chen Feng was taken aback, the teacher had never asked such a simple question.He has a strong sense of time, what happened today? "June 23rd." Chen Feng replied concisely.

Tang Qiuli didn't notice Chen Feng's strange expression, and muttered "June NO.18" thoughtfully.Open Chang Feng's telegram, "Teacher, at [-]:[-] am today, the Japanese army divided into three groups and launched a full-line attack on the Central Army from the directions of Dushan, Ziyun, and Guanling in southern Guizhou. , and according to reconnaissance, a Japanese army with about two divisions passed through Baise and marched westward to attack Funing in Yunnan. The specific battle situation will be reported at any time.”

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch. It was almost eight o'clock. That is to say, the Japanese had been fighting for three and a half hours. The three places where the fighting took place were all outposts of Guiyang. The Japanese wanted to take them down. Guiyang opened up the channel to attack Chongqing from the north. Since the beginning of June, the Japanese army has gathered in Nanning and prepared for more than 20 days. They have saved enough capital and finally started to attack. I hope that Chairman Jiang will heed his warning and let the Central Army strengthen its vigilance so that the If you are caught off guard, you can last for a few more days.

"Telegram Changfeng, pay close attention to the movement of the Japanese army. By the way, find out which troops the Japanese army attacked. Is there a telegram from Chongqing?" Tang Qiuli asked, and Chen Feng shook his head. Yes, the Central Army can still I can bear it, Chairman Jiang will not speak to himself easily, it involves the issue of face.

"Also, order Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps to advance westward from Changsha, to Huaihua and Jishou in western Hunan, and to Enshi in western Hubei to survey the road conditions leading to Chongqing and make preparations for rescue Chongqing," Chen Feng said. Leaving in a hurry, Tang Qiuli had no choice but to plan ahead and place a main corps near Chongqing. In case the Central Army collapsed thousands of miles away, Chongqing would be like a ripe peach, and let the Japanese pick it.

If Chongqing is lost, the attention of the whole country will be shifted to him. He has a heavy army in his hand, but he will not save his companions. He will sit back and watch the national government move the capital again. After more than two months, without having to do it yourself, it is also a little bit of money for Chairman Jiang.

The Japanese army of the two divisions attacking Yunnan would probably put great pressure on Long Yun. Moreover, Shouichi's plan in the temple was obvious, to attack Chongqing from two sides, but it didn't look like it. From Yunnan to Chongqing, That is to look far away, and most of them are mountainous areas, and the Japanese army's marching speed cannot be increased at all. I am afraid that the Japanese army attacking from Guizhou has already reached the city of Chongqing, and the Japanese army attacking from Yunnan is still climbing among the mountains in southwest Sichuan.

Tang Qiuli couldn't figure out the intention of Shouyi's troops in the temple to attack Yunnan. If he had to give a reason, it could only be that the Japanese troops of these two divisions were for the purpose of aggressively attacking Southeast Asia in the future and controlling the borders between China and Myanmar and China and Vietnam. On the first line, the establishment of transportation lines, I am afraid that the Japanese have already received a guarantee from the Germans that they are about to start war against Britain and France. There are still more than two months before the outbreak of World War II in history.

The Japanese finally made up their minds about the traditional power areas of Britain, France, the United States and other countries. The world situation cannot change. Within China, everything is proceeding according to Tang Qiuli's prediction. The Japanese took Yunnan, occupied Guangxi, and attacked Chongqing. It is to conduct large-scale battles with the British and French forces in Southeast Asia and establish a solid rear base.

However, Tang Qiuli will not let them realize this wishful thinking of the Japanese. Once the European war officially breaks out, the Japanese will turn their attention to Southeast Asia. During the attack, all the Japanese troops were driven out of the country, where is the battlefield where Tang Qiuli competed with the Japanese.

Tang Qiuli had a simple breakfast. As soon as he arrived at the office, Shanhu came in to report. Xiao Hanqian asked for an interview outside. He hurriedly said, "Huzi, please come in quickly." It took only one night for a completely new look. Xiao Hanqian's mental state underwent a fundamental change. His despondency and ashes were swept away, and his whole body seemed refreshed. Perhaps, after unraveling the barriers in his heart, he wanted to understand a lot matter.

Xiao Hangan bowed slightly, and said: "Vice Chairman Tang, Hangan stayed up all night last night and thought about a lot of things. Regarding your appointment, Hangan accepted your appointment sincerely, but I don't know how much power Vice Chairman Tang has given to Hangan. , "Sure enough, he is a straightforward person, without flattery, and without false polite words, opening his mouth to ask for power, which is what Xiao Hanqian can do.

Tang Qiuli looked at Xiao Hangan calmly, without giving up his seat, and without too much enthusiasm, he said lightly: "Brother Hangan, I will give you all the responsibilities and authority of the Guangdong Provincial Government. There is only one request. During your administration, the economy and culture of Guangdong Province, as well as various undertakings, will develop by leaps and bounds and become a solid rear base for my independent division. I think Brother Han Gan will be competent, and I am both responsible for the government affairs of Guangdong Province. Don't interfere or interfere, Brother Xiao only needs to talk about his political achievements."

Xiao Han was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Tang Qiuli would be so forthright, this was fully authorized, and then he smiled reservedly, without other people meddling, how difficult is it to govern Guangdong well?So, he bowed again and said, "Thank you, Vice Chairman Tang, for your trust in Han Gan. Han Gan will live up to expectations. A detailed plan will be presented in a few days." ,” Tang Qiuli said with a smile.

Guangdong is next to Hong Kong and Macau, and is a well-known commercial port in the world. If Xiao Hanqian's economic development plan does not take this factor into consideration, Tang Qiuli would not mind transferring people from the Dingbian Economic Development Bureau to set up a special office in Guangdong. The department that conducts foreign trade collects money for independent divisions.

Xiao Hangan left, Tang Qiuli picked up the phone, "Is this Chen Han? Come to my place." After a while, a jeep "creaked" and stopped at the entrance of the Guangzhou Garrison Command. Colonel Chen Han, the commander of the second brigade, jumped out of the car in a hurry.

Last night, Chen Han was so busy with his head. Yu Han mobilized a motley crew of 8000 people who were disarmed. Just finding a place to detain these guys was a lot of trouble. Chen Han also had to separate those officers for interrogation. He had never done such a job before, and his eyes were darkened. The commander of the Eighth Brigade, Niu Shuangquan, was just like him.

There was no way, the two of them muttered, ready to complain to the teacher, they called the Nanyue Hotel, it happened to be Shan Hu who answered the phone, and they were very happy when they heard it, and said: "You two are really not smart, the Intelligence Department and The investigation department is a veteran in this matter, if you don’t look for Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, you want to look for the teacher, are you afraid of being reprimanded?" [

One word awakened the dreamer, Chen Han and Niu Shuangquan found Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, and were blackmailed by the leaders of the independent division two agents for a restaurant, and were forced to accept two Japanese general-level command swords. Satisfied, he followed Chen Han and Niu Shuangquan to the army station.

Waiting to go in and take a look, the two brigade commanders were very angry. The agents of the intelligence department and the investigation department had already taken over this job. Shouting that they were fooled, Shen Jun and Yu Deshui were triumphant. Today, Chen Han came to see the division commander, full of plans. He was afraid that he would return to the regiment system and had combat missions, so Chen Han was somewhat impatient.
