Age of Rebirth

Chapter 540: You Still Have to Fight

Tang Qiuli woke up quietly, opened his eyes, and saw the scene in the headquarters. Everyone, including Chen Feng, the head of the confidential department, was pointed at by his guards with guns, obediently stunned. Beside the wall, he didn't dare to move, knowing that Shanhu had misunderstood, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hands vigorously.

Shanhu understood what he meant, and made a strange movement. The soldiers of the special guard immediately retracted their guns, just as quickly and suddenly as when they came, and disappeared in front of everyone at once. The clerks and translators let out a long breath. The incident happened suddenly. Before they figured out what was going on, the black muzzle of the gun was forced on them.

The murderous aura emanating from the soldiers of the special guard, without a trace of emotion, and the cold eyes, scared these civilian officers who had never been on the battlefield and experienced the baptism of war, into a cold sweat, feeling like their nerves were being scraped by a knife. , was cold all over, including Chen Feng was no exception.

Chen Feng came in front of Tang Qiuli, his eyes were full of anxious concern, he turned to Shan Hu, and gave Shan Hu a hard look. This guy, regardless of indiscriminateness, greeted him with a gun when he came up. Shan Hu smiled apologetically, and turned to face Tang Qiuli. Looking at these civilian officers who were still in shock, they gave a very serious military salute, but he didn't say a word, no need to explain, this was his duty, and if there was a next time, he would do it again. [

This is enough, so that the division commander known as "Crazy Tiger" can give them a salute, not to mention that his military rank is much higher than his own. Surrounding the division commander, at this time, the military doctor also came after hearing the news. After examining Tang Qiuli's body, he told everyone that the division commander's body was not seriously ill, but he was just in a hurry, and he would be fine after a few days of rest.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and sent Tang Qiuli back to rest. Everyone left, only Shan Hu was by Tang Qiuli's side. There was a long silence. Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with a faint cold light. Hu said: "Huzi, my heart is numb with pain. Why did the big man leave like this? In the Northeast, in such a difficult and dangerous environment, the big man Su never survived even a single one. There are tens of thousands of people, if you say no, you will be gone!" After speaking, it seemed as if from the depths of his heart, he let out a long sigh, feeling unspeakably lonely and lonely.

Shanhu sat next to Tang Qiuli, stretched out his hand, and held his hand tightly. For a while, neither of them spoke. At this time, there was no distinction between teachers and subordinates. There were only two childhood partners. Brothers in life and death, communicating with each other with heart, Shanhu feels Tang Qiuli's pain and sorrow, and the desolation in his heart.

Shanhu's heart tightened. Xiaoqiu was only 20 years old. He had experienced too many life and death and partings. Comrades, brothers, and lovers left one by one. Every time, his heart was broken with pain. At that time, Shanhu tried his best to share Tang Qiuli's inner pain, and deeply blamed himself.

Shanhu and Tang Qiuli are also familiar with Su Jingfeng, and he and Su Jingfeng have a deeper relationship. There are many similarities in the two people's personalities, and his heart is bleeding in pain. From time to time, a big man Su appears in front of him smiling loudly. With a loud voice, a sentence that Su Jingfeng often said to him rang in his ears from time to time: "Tiger, in our Bloody Hands, in terms of strength, I only obey you!"

But Shan Hufa used words to comfort his childhood partner. He was not good at words, so he could only hold Tang Qiuli's hand more tightly. Tang Qiuli really felt Shan Hu's inner feelings, and he worked hard. Adjusted his emotions, and couldn't bear to make Shanhu worry about himself.

After a while, he felt that his strength had recovered a lot, so he said to Shanhu: "Huzi, go and call Yu Guanghan, Chief of Staff, Chen Feng, Chief of Communications, and Shen Jun, Chief of Investigation, I have a mission to assign." " Shanhu agreed to go out, and the room became even more lonely. Tang Qiuli felt a pressure in his heart, and he was so bored. He really wanted to yell desperately, but he didn't, he had experienced too much , He is no longer that impulsive teenager.

Soon, several people arrived. Tang Qiuli lay on the kang and dictated a few orders. One was to order Yu Guanghan, the chief of staff, to rush to Xuchang immediately as the teacher's representative to escort Su Jingfeng's body to Dingbian Yu Guanghan took an order with him, ordering the Yellow River Henan Defense Corps to immediately return to the Huangyadong base to rest.

The second is to order Liu Hanzhang, vice chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone and mayor of Dingbian Special City, to find a quiet place in the Baiyu mountain area and start building a martyr cemetery. Therefore, as a brave army, there must be a place to pay homage to one's own heroes. All the expenses required will be used from one's own private savings, and the specifications must be high.

The third order, Tang Qiuli's originally sad tone, suddenly became sharp, and he ordered Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, to find out the specific location of Tang Enbo within a time limit, and Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, immediately went south to the southern Henan area, Together with Yu Deshui, we must find Tang Enbo's whereabouts at any cost, and don't return to the division headquarters until there is no result.

The generals of the division immediately took orders very seriously, and watched them leave the house. Tang Qiuli felt flustered and short of breath, was too tired to open his eyes, and fell asleep drowsily, but the dream was full of Su Jingfeng's voice and smile, and what he said to himself when he said goodbye before he went to the Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps as the commander: "Master, give me one year, and I promise to lead the Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps into a resounding main force. At that time, the division commander, don’t forget to organize my troops into the battle order of the main force.” When he woke up, there were cold tears in the corners of his eyes.

In the next few days, Tang Qiuli forced himself to let go of all the sad things, supported his still weak body, and focused his attention on the direction of Xuzhou.

Isoya Rensuke's First Army was suddenly attacked by the independent division guarding Kaifeng at about [-]:[-] am on December [-]th. After a scuffle, the First Army suffered heavy casualties. Rensuke Isotani, who was in charge of the attack, quickly organized troops to counterattack. After a burst of violent shelling, the Japanese army rushed into the southeast of Kaifeng City with shouts.

Nothing, the squadron that made them suffer so much has disappeared without a trace, except for the pits everywhere, the collapsed buildings with lingering smoke, not even a person in sight, thousands of cannons, They were all blown up in the open space. In the past few days, the positions that could not be stormed were easily obtained, but the Japanese officers and soldiers did not have the joy of victory.

The cold wind howled, the night was dark, and the pungent smell of gunpowder covered the whole city of Kaifeng. The lights of the fire reflected the silent Japanese soldiers faintly, like a group of lonely ghosts. Having read the chief of staff's report, the counterattack he encountered just now caused his troops to lose nearly [-] soldiers.

Although at the scene, more than [-] corpses of Chinese soldiers were counted, but such a result made him obviously unacceptable. The casualty ratio was two to one. When did the warriors of the Japanese Empire fight such a useless battle? He didn't even capture a single prisoner. What he wanted to know most was whether the independent division unit he had fought with for three days was the main force in Tang Qiuli's hands.

However, even such a small wish came to nothing. A soldier of the Independent Division whose legs were blown off and who was almost half-breathed was found among the dead. Knowing that this Chinese soldier rang the grenade on his body, a ball of fire flashed, and the bones of the Chinese soldier remained, and several soldiers of the imperial army became one of the nearly ten thousand corpses.

Not far away, Isoya Rensuke, who witnessed this scene in person, shuddered in his heart. These Chinese soldiers are too terrifying. I don’t know what kind of magic that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli instilled in them to face death. Showing no signs of fear, should be the realm of the emperor's bushido spirit?He didn't understand, and for the first time he was full of worries about his task of occupying Xuzhou.

If Commander Kazuki Kiyoshi hadn't had to take Xuzhou's order, Isoya Rensuke would never let go of the independent division unit that made him suffer so much. Even if he chased him to the ends of the earth, he would have to know the true face of this crazy unit. He knew , After three days of bloody battle, the casualties of this army are not small, but he can only suppress the hatred in his heart, the more important goal is still ahead, on this point, Wang Dongshan's judgment is completely correct, he dared to let go Fight back one last time. [

Isoya Rensuke did not dare to order the troops to attack Shangqiu overnight. If there hadn't been a three-day bloody battle in Kaifeng, facing the fierce fighting power of the soldiers of the Independent Division, he had a new evaluation of the fighting will of the Chinese Communists, and he would not have cared Whether he marched at night or not, after three days, his troops lost more than [-] people, which was almost the strength of a main division.

He ordered the troops to prepare overnight, set off tomorrow morning, and head straight for Shangqiu. Then, the sleepy Isoya Rensuke, eagerly looking forward to the dawn. Near the ruins of Kaifeng City, which was full of pits, they rushed straight to Shangqiu. Many Japanese soldiers did not have the courage to look back at Kaifeng. The Chinese soldiers had already chilled their courage.

Thanks to Su Jingfeng's troops for their desperate resistance, and thanks to Wang Dongshan for leading the [-] strong men in the Jedi counterattack. They dragged the Japanese army in Kaifeng for another whole night. Zhang Zizhong's Sulu Garrison Corps had more time to perfect their defensive positions. .

Zhang Zizhong's troops of more than [-] people arrived in Shangqiu on the afternoon of the [-]th. According to the order of the division commander, his troops had to stop the Japanese army in Shangqiu for two days, that is, they had to persist until midnight on December [-]th. Soldier, he knew the difficulty of this task, and he was racking his brains on how to complete it.
