Age of Rebirth

Properly planned and well executed, Tang Qiuli never imagined that the battle of Duyun aimed at the complete annihilation of the No.15 Japanese Army Yamashita Bongbun Army would end like this. The First Brigade of the Corps directly under the charge of cleaning the battlefield suffered more than 90.00 casualties. More than 11% of the casualties were caused by Liu Zhi sending his direct troops, the No.[-] Group Army of the Central Army, to the Duyun battlefield.

Breaking out from the direction of Xiyunfeng, there were more than 15 remnants of the No.[-] Army, which posed a serious threat to the ongoing blocking war on the western front of the directly subordinate corps. Tang Qiuli had to adjust his strategic deployment. On the front line of the Hongshui River, the Ma Chaoyang Corps, which was preparing to severely injure the Japanese troops marching northward, urgently dispatched four brigades to participate in the pursuit and annihilation of the remaining Japanese troops.

Liu Hongzhang, the brigade commander of the first brigade directly under the corps, has been holding back a fire in his heart. Since the first brigade was incorporated into the battle order of the directly under corps, it has regained North China, conquered Outer Mongolia in the north, went to Songhu in the east, and went to Guangdong and Guangxi in the south. In one battle, there were so many casualties, and it was in a battle to clear the remnants of the Japanese army. Speaking of it, the first brigade lost people.

What's even more annoying is that he was accidentally injured by those cowardly soldiers of the Central Army. He wished to "sudden" all these uncomfortable Central Army soldiers. At the time of the hand group, it was the first brigade. Li Honggang, the first captain, first served as the chief of staff of the independent division. Now he is the commander of the No. 20 Ninth Corps.

Many commanders at the level of major generals came out of the first brigade, but in Duyun, 600 people were killed by Liu Zhi's poor soldiers for no apparent reason. This is not like fighting the Japanese army.Casualties are normal, breathless and furious, Liu Hongzhang saw the soldiers of the No. 11 Army of the Central Army who were rummaging through the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and his teeth were itchy with hatred, wishing to kill these guys with one shot. [

By broad daylight, the battle was over.The troops of the Central Army gradually withdrew from the battlefield in a chaotic manner.The number of casualties of the troops has been counted. Liu Hongzhang signed the telegram with red eyes. Looking at each name, Liu Hongzhang's pen was heavy.The whereabouts of all the casualties have been found, except Captain Cao Guozhu, the trainee company commander of the fourth battalion and first company of the third regiment, and 68 soldiers, whose whereabouts are unknown.

No one was alive, no one was dead, and the third regiment leader asked for instructions on the intercom: "Brigade Commander, the battle is over, should our regiment also withdraw from the battlefield? It was supposed to be a good ending battle, but the Central Army messed it up It caused more than 200 casualties in our regiment in vain," the third regiment leader couldn't help complaining.

The anger in Liu Hongzhang's stomach, "boom", was ignited by the complaints of the third regiment leader, and he shouted into the intercom: "Evacuate the battlefield? Thank you for being able to say it, the little devil is gone, your regiment commander 69 people, don't you know? It's such a big place. Report missing, find me. Dig three feet, even if you turn the Duyun battlefield over. Find them. If there is no result, you, the regiment leader, Just go to the baggage regiment and be the regiment leader for me!"

Over the intercom, the third regiment leader shrinks his neck in fright. Be good, the brigade commander is so angry. He doesn't think that Cao Guozhu and the others died or disappeared. They are ignorant. This trainee company commander may follow the little devil The pursuit continued in the direction of the breakthrough. Since the brigade commander had ordered, the first brigade searched the entire Duyun battlefield carefully.

In the cave where Fengwen was hiding at the foot of the mountain, the commander of the third regiment saw the bodies of Cao Guozhu and 68 other soldiers. Those who died in the battle with the Japanese army were plotted against. Also, two Japanese radio stations were intact, and the bodies of three Japanese soldiers fell beside the entrance of the cave.

The head of the third regiment head "boomed", all the blood in his body rushed to his face, and the gold stars in front of his eyes were flying wildly, who did it? "Quickly, see if there are any alive," he ordered immediately, and a soldier exclaimed, "Head, there is one here, and it hasn't been sacrificed yet." The third group leader hurried over.

He helped up the dying soldier covered in blood, and seeing his regiment commander, who was seriously injured, hope flashed in his eyes, "Quickly tell me, what's going on? Who did it?" Three asked eagerly.

The soldier who was seriously injured took a few hard breaths, and said in a weak tone: "We captured Fengwen Yamashita, and the Central Army fired black shots at us. The leader is called Zhang Tiren, regiment leader..." The soldier's Breathing quickly, the spark of life in his eyes suddenly extinguished, he tilted his head to the side, closed his eyes unwillingly, and sacrificed himself in the arms of the third regiment leader.

The head of the third regiment walked out of the cave with a scary face. He couldn't bear to see that his soldiers were beaten to death by the bastards of the Central Army. "Call me Brigadier Tong," he yelled, "Brigade Commander, we We found Cao Guozhu and the others, they were all sacrificed, they were shot in the back by the bastards of the Central Army, and they were killed," the third regiment leader gritted his teeth and reported.

After listening to Liu Hongzhang's report on the situation, Tang Qiuli snapped the pencil in his hand, and the sharp stubble pierced into the palm of his hand, and a few drops of bright red blood dripped onto the grass. On the luxuriant ground, he closed his eyes, and the words "Liu Zhi" almost popped out from the depths of his chest.

Chen Feng, the director of communications beside him, and the staff in the room all felt the uncontrollable murderous aura on the master. When Chen Feng saw Tang Qiuli's bloody palm, he exclaimed, "Mr., your hand, "Tang Qiuli shook his head, calmed down a little, and asked Chen Feng: "Director Chen, when did the two brigades of Changfeng arrive in Duyun?" The chief of staff sent a telegram that we can reach West Cloud Peak in two hours."

Okay, immediately convey my order, "Order Chang Feng, as soon as the troops reach Xiyun Peak, immediately surround the No. 11 Army Group Station of the Central Army outside Duyun City. Yiqin's Aviation Southern Flying Group sent at least two fighter regiments and one bomber regiment to fly over Duyun at [-]:[-] this afternoon, and then the two brigades of Feng Jiwu's regiment rushed into Duyun City , to deal with the Central Army in the city," Tang Qiuli gasped, his face paled.

"Also, order Liu Hongzhang to occupy Xiyun Peak immediately, and block the connection between the No. 11 Army outside the city and Liu Zhi inside the city." He added that Chen Feng was taken aback. He didn't know what the commander was going to do. The content of the call between Hongzhang and Tang Qiuli, the mobilization of troops in this way is to prepare for war with the Central Army?

Although he is not a professional military commander, he still couldn't help reminding: "Master, the No. 11 Army of the Central Army has more than 3 people near Duyun, and the army of the Chief of Staff is only nearly [-] people, with a huge disparity in strength. Too big, are we mobilizing other troops, such as the Ma Chaoyang Corps?"

Chen Feng never questioned Tang Qiuli's decision. He just raised his own concerns. Tang Qiuli smiled contemptuously and said, "It's enough to deal with Liu Zhi. Let Liu Zhi know immediately. I'm going to Duyun See him in the city." Seeing Chen Feng's worried expression, he went on to say, "Director Chen, 69 soldiers from our first brigade were brutally killed by Liu Zhi's troops in a cave. He was shot in the back." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Only then did Chen Feng understand why the division commander wanted to attack the No.11 Army of the Central Army. He immediately went out to send a report. In addition to Tang Qiuli's original text, he also briefed the situation to the people who were rushing to Duyun. Chief of Staff Chang Feng, in the speeding car, Chang Feng saw the teacher's telegram, and then looked at Chen Feng's telegram.

A burst of worry came to my mind. The division commander had only one brigade of troops beside him. He had a showdown with Liu Zhi. Once Liu Zhi killed him, the division commander's safety would be in danger. Even if the car is falling apart, don't stop," Chang Feng immediately ordered, and all the cars galloped towards Duyun at the fastest speed.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu, leading a guard brigade of more than 1 people, entered Duyun City. For Tang Qiuli's visit, Liu Zhi was [-] unwilling. He was playing in Duyun. This trick can deceive Chairman Jiang and suppress Guo Huawen, but it can't show up in front of Tang Qiuli, so he definitely doesn't want to meet Tang Qiuli.

This Vice Chairman Tang is notoriously ruthless. When the Xi'an Incident happened for many years, he had served as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, and had a short-term relationship with him. At that time, Liu Zhi saw it. Tang Qiuli was so ruthless, He Yingqin's nephew, a major general and division commander, would kill him as soon as he said it. [

But now that people come to the door, there is no way to hide, so Liu Zhi had no choice but to twist his nose, reluctantly, to meet the vice chairman at the south gate of Duyun City. "Liu Zhi, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Route Army on the Qiannan Defense Line of the National Army, welcomes Vice Chairman Tang to Duyun. It is a great honor for me and all the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army."

Tang Qiuli glanced at Liu Zhi, and said lightly: "Commander Liu doesn't need to be polite, the No. 11 Army is effective in combat, so I should come and see, besides, are they all my subordinates?" At one glance, for some unknown reason, Liu Zhi's heart suddenly shivered, feeling guilty for a while.

Is it because of the matter of Yamashita Fengwen?Here comes the robbery, Zhang Tiren got Fengwen's body at the foot of the mountain, can't it reach Tang Qiuli's ears so quickly, right?To be honest, I didn't behave properly in Duyun's case. Did Guo Huawen sue him behind his back?Why did he have something in his words, Xingshi came to ask the crime?

Liu Zhi was flustered and guessed wildly, so he heard Tang Qiuli say: "Why, Commander Liu, why don't you invite me to visit your headquarters? Is it embarrassing for you?"
