Age of Rebirth

The troops marched continuously in the dense forest. As the vanguard of the troops, the special warfare brigade solved the big problem. The small group of devils and national soldiers were all dealt with neatly by them, and the camp was arranged in advance. Wear down, but exercise the troops.

Encountering special terrain, Tang Qiuli organized troop exercises according to the requirements of actual combat, practicing tactics, practicing movements, practicing while walking. , Countless prey, freeze-dried wild vegetables, and mushrooms are all delicious, which made the soldiers from the plains and cities a feast, and learned and mastered the basic skills of mountain, forest, and wild survival.

Tang Qiuli called this a training march. Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu felt the same way. No, the troops have been marching in the mountains for more than ten days. The cohesion has been greatly improved compared with before, and the feelings between the commanders and the soldiers, and between the soldiers have also become more harmonious.

Thinking about it, more than 2000 people seem to be a lot, but once they are thrown into the Changbai Mountain primordial forest where they can see the mountains and look down at the snow, it is different from a drop of water flowing into the sea. The strength of a single person cannot resist the power of nature at all. , only the team is a reliable force, and comrades-in-arms are the closest people around you. [

At night, the bonfire in the cave was blazing, and the food was fragrant. The soldiers sat around, discussing tactical actions, summarizing the gains and losses during the day's drills, and summing up experiences and lessons. The warm fire glowed on the faces of the soldiers, showing good nutrition Every time Tang Qiuli walked past the soldiers, Tang Qiuli would feel his complexion. Zhou Yushan, the deputy director of logistics, was extremely competent.

When camping, Tang Qiuli and the members of the headquarters are the busiest time, contacting the scattered units of the special operations brigade, receiving the intelligence transferred from the base intelligence center, synthesizing, analyzing, comparing, and judging the enemy's situation. In the uninhabited virgin forest, it is not isolated, but it is well-informed and knows the latest forms like the palm of the hand.

This is a pain for the soldiers in the communication department. They have to climb to the top of the mountain to receive the signal when other troops are resting. However, the radio operators and soldiers don’t feel tired because the commander climbs the mountain with them every time. In the process of climbing the mountain, the commander will tell you many new things that they have not heard before, which is really eye-opening and knowledgeable.

At the top of the mountain, looking around, the mountains are like waves, the snowy fields, white snow and green pines, the sky is blue and the clouds are light. describe.

After returning home, I told others that those soldiers who had never heard of it were taken aback for a while, and they were so greedy that they all wanted to follow. Feng Jiwu, the chief of staff, stared: "Isn't it all excess energy? Marching tomorrow, each person will go to the supply team to pick up [-] kilograms of supplies and carry them on their backs, and carry them forward for [-] kilometers. They are not allowed to rest halfway, and let the mules and horses rest too!" The soldiers stuck out their tongues, my god, that's going to kill them !

During the period, the cavalry brigade, which Tang Qiuli was most worried about, returned safely without losing a single person. According to Liu Chun, there were no less than 6000 devils behind them, and they were led into the mountains by them for six or seven days, dragging the devils enough. If Shao Benliang's troops hadn't been more difficult to deal with, they would have returned long ago. These guys are all dogs!The nose is really good, chasing their footprints, biting them tightly, no matter how you hide your whereabouts, you can't hide them from them, but thanks to the light of a heavy snow, you can get rid of them, so you come back so many days late.

After listening to Liu Chun's words, Tang Qiuli's determination to knock Shao Benliang out was strengthened. It is estimated that the Anti-Japanese League also suffered from these traitors. The tactics are rigid, facing the mountains, primeval forests, and vast snowfields of the Kanto, staring blankly, there is nothing to do. Only national scum and local snakes like Shao Benliang are the great enemies of the Kanto Anti-Japanese Armed Forces.

On this day, a member of the Special Operations Brigade who stayed in the Third Division of the Anti-Japanese Army as a liaison sent a telegram. After several battles, the Third Division has now moved to a relatively stable new camp, which is less than a day away from the current position of the troops. , The commander's message has been forwarded to General Huang Zhen, the commander of the third division. General Huang was very happy and invited the commander to meet at the Anti-Alliance camp.

After receiving the telegram, Tang Qiuli was very happy. He finally met the leader of the Anti-Alliance. Anti-Alliance Camp.

At dawn the next day, Tang Qiuli led the guard directly under him and a platoon of soldiers led by Li Honggang, and set off early. The main force camped in place, hiding their tracks, and waiting for orders.

He has his own considerations. The gathering of so many troops and the troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance comes from different systems after all. The habits of the soldiers are not the same. It is inevitable that there will be some small frictions. Well, besides, you can't underestimate the reconnaissance capabilities of the devils and Shao Benliang. If the news leaks out and the devils' large army touches them, don't let the enemy cook it in a pot!

Now, my own troops are hidden nearby, so if anything happens, they can provide support.

The skis sped briskly on the snow field, climbed over several mountains, and according to the direction provided by the Anti-Japanese League, they turned into a relatively hidden mountain pass near noon, and suddenly there were voices of asking for passwords and pulling the bolt from the opposite side. Stopping in a hurry, the soldiers quickly seized the favorable position, the weapons in their hands were ready to fire at any time, showing good responsiveness and skillful tactical actions.

Tang Qiuli, Li Honggang, Shan Hu, and Battelle were the only ones left on the mountain road. It may be that the actions of the soldiers startled each other.

Tang Qiuli knew that this was the sentinel of the Anti-Union Alliance. He had fought bloody battles with the devils for many years and had cultivated their high level of vigilance. But it's big.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers. The long-term hard training was not in vain. If there were devil sentries on the opposite side, there would be a few corpses now.

After contacting again, the four of them waited quietly.

A group of people came from the end of the mountain road. The first one was a soldier in his forties, wearing a washed-white uniform of the Northeast Army. He was of medium height and his eyes were shining. It seemed that he had a lot of combat experience. professional soldiers.

Before Tang Qiuli was in front of them, he shouted loudly: "That is Commander Tang?" The voice was loud, penetrating, intimate and happy, looking over the crowd, searching around, and following him The special forces team member hastily introduced, "This is our commander, and this is Commander Huang of the Anti-Japanese Federation." Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved. [

When Huang Xing saw Tang Qiuli, he was obviously taken aback. Although the liaison officer here said that his commander was very young, Tang Qiuli was young beyond his expectation. What kind of young man is this? Pulling up such a team at the age of sixteen or seventeen?

Huang Xing immediately returned to normal, showing a deep life experience, stepped forward to hold Tang Qiuli's hand affectionately, "I hope you are here, now it's all right, I, Lao Huang, have a companion who beats devils!" A few simple words brought the relationship between the two parties very close.

Tang Qiuli could really feel Huang Xing's enthusiasm and joy, which made him feel at ease.

The two walked to the camp side by side. When they passed by the place where the anti-union sentry asked the password just now, Shanhu made a movement towards Tang Qiuli. The location was exactly the same as Shan Hu judged. He looked at Battelle again, and Battelle also told him with gestures that the ambush sentry had no heavy weapons and could approach from that side without being noticed. Tang Qiuli smiled in satisfaction. , Huang Xing was keenly aware of the movements between the three older children.

He looked at Tang Qiuli with puzzled eyes. Tang Qiuli told Master Huang Zhen that the lurking post of the Anti-Japanese League was discovered by his two captains at a glance. Hearing what Tang Qiuli said , Huang Xing had a look of disbelief, the location and method of the sentinel's lurking were arranged by him himself.

Tang Qiuli didn't explain either.

The mountain road became narrower and narrower, and finally only one person could pass through. A valley appeared in front of me. Rows of wooden houses were lined up neatly along the mountain, and the anti-Japanese camp had arrived.

Huang Xing accompanied Tang Qiuli to visit the camp, and while introducing the situation, after several brutal battles, the entire Third Division had a lot of downsizing, and now there were only more than 100 soldiers, including more than 300 lightly and seriously wounded.

Although Tang Qiuli was mentally prepared for the difficult environment of the confrontation alliance, and in his previous life, he knew a lot from various materials.

However, what he saw before him still shocked him.

Fighters of the Anti-Union Alliance, in the extremely cold weather in the Kanto region, many of them have no cotton-padded clothes and can only use animal skins to keep out the cold, and they are still uncooked animal skins, and most of their feet are shoes made of animal skins. Clumsy, not many wearing military uniforms, well washed, but there are many patches on the military uniforms.

The weapons are also very poor, only a few captured crooked light machine guns are heavy weapons, and some soldiers even carry shotguns.

Everyone was sallow and emaciated, obviously malnourished and exhausted.

However, every fighter of the Anti-Union League is filled with gushing fighting spirit and firm belief. Under such difficult conditions, instead of showing decadence and discouragement, it gives people a feeling that only the sound of gunfire will kill these fighters. Immediately be able to go into battle alive and well.

In one room, a group of soldiers were taking classes and studying culture, and in another room, a dozen young female soldiers were rehearsing a program, and their beautiful singing voices wafted over the camp.

In the temporary hospital, Tang Qiuli saw a different scene. There was no medicine at all in the hospital. Salt was the only medicine that could clean the wounds of the soldiers. It was winter, and there was no herbal medicine at all. More than a dozen wounded were in the hospital He had a high fever, but there were no loud groans or painful wailings in the ward, only the murmurings of the wounded in a coma.

Tang Qiuli turned around and left the ward with a sore nose. The difficulty of fighting against the League was indeed beyond his imagination.

Master Huang Xing at the side told him that there were many wounded, because of the lack of medicines, they could only watch helplessly as they were killed by illness and pain.

He immediately contacted the army and told Zhou Yushan that the transportation team was ready to carry two-thirds of all weapons, medicines and supplies. He sent Li Honggang to lead a platoon of soldiers to meet the Anti-Alliance Camp. Come here, bring enough medicine.

Huang Xing on the side didn't have too many surprises. In his mind, the life of the Blood Hands was not much richer than that of the Anti-League. Tang Qiuli did it out of his best intentions.

When it's time for lunch, Huang Xing told him with some regrets that Commander Yang Jingyu left the camp a few days ago because he went to the First Division to deal with an important situation, and he estimated that he would be back in these two days. Before leaving, he asked himself to entertain his friendly troops well .

Everyone humbly walked into the cafeteria. After such a long journey, Tang Qiuli was really hungry. He had a premonition that the food standard of the Anti-League would not be as good as that of his troops. Let's talk about the stomach. [

When he cast his eyes on the table, he froze.

Is this what the Anti-Union fighters ate?Or is it the standard for entertaining guests?

There are four dishes on the table, one is pickled vegetables made with wild vegetables, it can be seen that it is from the hands of Korean soldiers, the same is a bowl of soup, there should be mushrooms in it, there is no oily smell, the same is A bowl of stir-fried frozen vegetables that cannot be named. The only meat dish is a plate of fried wild pork. I don’t know how long it has been preserved. , which should be mixed with a lot of chaff.

Seeing Tang Qiuli, Shan Hu, and Battelle in a daze, Huang Xing said apologetically, "It's easier, the devil's blockade is too tight, and the commander laughed!"

Tang Qiuli and the others came to their senses, sat down at the table, took a bite of the dish, and was stunned again, why is it so bland without salt?

The companion, Master Huang Xing, explained that the troops were extremely short of supplies and medicines. In order to starve the Anti-Alliance to death, the devils imposed a strict blockade on the Anti-Alliance's activity area, and gathered the surrounding people to live together. He was called Gui Datuner, and the masses called him the "Human Circle" in order to cut off the connection between the masses and the Anti-Alliance, which caused great difficulties for the Anti-Alliance troops.

Now, salt is the only medicine for the troops, and when it is used to clean the wounds of the wounded, the troops will eat wild vegetables!

After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly and said, "It's been a long time since I had such a hearty meal. This is thanks to Commander Tang!" After speaking, he began to eat sweetly.

Tang Qiuli felt strange, guarding the big forest, with wild animals running all over the mountains, the meat problem should be easy to solve, right?

Huang Xing told him that the army's supply was better, but since Shao Benliang's army joined the encirclement and suppression, the army's situation has become difficult. Those guys are very clear about the way in the mountains, the army dare not light fire at night, and they don't dare to light fire during the day He didn't dare to shoot his prey for fear of exposing the target. Several secret camps were destroyed. Shao Benliang dispersed his troops into small groups, listening to sounds during the day and watching fireworks at night. As soon as they saw the trail of the League, they immediately fired warning shots, and the devils from other places immediately surrounded them, and the troops suffered several losses.

This is the last secret camp. In a short time, there is no danger of exposure, so the troops withdrew here for repairs.

It was only then that Tang Qiuli realized how difficult the struggle environment of the Anti-Japanese League was. Looking at Shan Hu and Battelle, it was obvious that such food was difficult to swallow, and he had no appetite.

Seeing Master Huang eating deliciously, his nose felt sore for a while, and he took out all the five-spice jerky and standard military rations on his body, and Shan Hu and Battelle also took out the food they carried with them.

Huang Xing looked at the food put on the table by the Bloody Hands, and was taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and brought out the best things to entertain the guests, knowing that what they brought with them was hundreds of times better than what he carefully prepared .

However, he was very interested in these standard military rations, and kept asking this and that.

Tang Qiuli hinted to Battelle, telling him to send all the rations carried by the soldiers of the guards to the hospital, where the food for the wounded was worse than what was on the table.

After returning to the rest room, he asked Shan Hu and Battelle, are they used to the food here?The two smiled embarrassedly. It was the first time they encountered such a meal since they joined the army. Tang Qiuli fell into deep thought. His army, eating the best food and equipped with the best weapons, can eliminate a large number of Japanese devils That's normal.

However, the Anti-Union fighters, in such a difficult environment, fought against the Japanese devils dozens or even hundreds of times, and eventually became the backbone of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Armed Forces. Material conditions are not the decisive factor.

I really should bring all the troops here to experience the real life of the Anti-Union fighters.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Yushan led a large supply team and brought a large amount of supplies and medicines to the secret camp of the Anti-Union League. The medical team also followed.

Huang Xing saw a mighty army composed of hundreds of mules and horses approaching, and piles of guns, medicines, supplies and equipment filled the empty space of the camp, it was like a dream, he was a little numb, his eyes were pretty good Keep an eye on these things, for fear that they will disappear suddenly!

Tang Qiuli, who was on the side, was moved by his actions. He deeply understood the mood of Mr. Huang Xing at this moment. With this little thing, he could do his part for the seniors of the Anti-Japanese War whom he admired!

Li Honggang and Zhou Yushan came to them and saluted Tang Qiuli first, "Report to the commander, the supplies and equipment have been ordered to arrive!" Then, they solemnly walked in front of Huang Xing, and gave a sharp military salute: "Report to the commander, comrade, blood The head of the First Brigade of the Hand Corps, Li Honggang, a member of the Communist Party of China, the deputy director of the logistics department of the Bloody Hand Corps and the captain of the supply brigade, and Zhou Yushan, a member of the Communist Party of China, reported to the organization!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and looked at his two subordinates. This was also his real purpose for letting Li Honggang and Zhou Yushan come here. It was time to recognize their natal families. After all, they were members of the organization. He even thought about it this way. If the leaders of the Anti-Japanese League asked them to stay in the Anti-Japanese League, and they themselves agreed, then I would not hesitate to keep all the Communists in the army in the Anti-Japanese League, and also support a large amount of materials and equipment. Report, because I'm afraid that I'm supercilious!

Huang Xing didn't respond, and was still staring blankly at the supplies and equipment, obviously not recovering from the shock, how much money does this bloody hand group have, and how did they do it?He didn't know Tang Qiuli's policy, that is to implement the "all-power" policy against the Japanese, which is even more ruthless than devils!This point, the anti-Japanese team led by the Communist Party cannot do it!

The guard beside him tugged at Huang Xing's sleeve, and he came back to his senses. He held the hands of the two people tightly, his excited expressions couldn't be suppressed. Together, the exchange of words between comrades and comrades-in-arms is touching!

Tang Qiuli felt warm in his heart when he saw this. This kind of heart-to-heart connection transcends blood relationship and family relationship. It is a common belief and a common pursuit that brings them together!

Huang Xing shook Tang Qiuli's hand vigorously. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. The sincerity in his expression made Tang Qiuli feel warm. He knew that it was not only for his supplies and equipment, but more importantly The most important thing is that there are Communist Party members in my army, and they also hold important positions. This kind of sincerity should be the kind of comradely trust.

In the evening, the soldiers of the Bloody Hands and the Anti-Union held a grand bonfire party. There was a friendly, friendly and harmonious atmosphere between the soldiers of the two armies. After all, the origins and experiences of the soldiers were very similar. , without diaphragm.

After careful treatment by professional doctors from the Blood Hand Regiment Medical Team, coupled with a large amount of the latest medicines brought in, the injuries of the anti-union wounded were brought under control, and operations were performed on many seriously wounded.

In particular, the thousands of catties of salt and a large amount of medicine brought in can solve a major problem. Because the anti-union troops did not have enough salt supply for a long time, the physical strength of the soldiers declined very badly. If a person cannot eat salt for a long time, the electrolytes in the body will be To balance, disorder occurs, the whole body has no strength, and it is impossible to stand up. Therefore, salt is the taste of life!

This made Huang Xing not even know how to call Tang Qiuli, comrade, right?This is the most cordial, but he is not in the party, he is called Commander Tang, right?It seems polite and polite, call me brother, right?The age gap is there, and I am his uncle!

It was Tang Qiuli who saw the problem and asked Huang Xing to call him "Qiu Li". This way, he was kind and not inferior to his seniority. Charity, the more I look at it, the more I like this young guy.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Qiuli had been in the anti-union camp for two days, and General Yang Jingyu still hadn't come back.

Waking up this morning, Tang Qiuli suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. This feeling was vague but very strong. He vaguely knew that it had something to do with the general.

After hastily eating breakfast, he found Master Huang Xing and asked General Yang about his trip.

The general went to the Second Division this time to deal with the problem, and he had to go through four or five devils' blockades along the way. The guerrilla zone of the Second Division was more than 300 miles away from here, and the general led a guard to set off.

Calculated according to the normal time, the general should have returned to the secret camp last night, but for some unknown reason, he hadn't returned until this morning.

Tang Qiu was completely aware of the uneasiness in his heart. The general must have encountered an unexpected situation that delayed his return date, and he told himself that it must be.

He immediately told Mr. Huang Xing his judgment. When Mr. Huang heard this, his face turned pale. The general is the banner and the backbone of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and there must be no mistakes.

He was about to gather his team and go to meet General Yang Jingyu, greeted Tang Qiuli in a hurry, got up and was about to go out.

Tang Qiuli hurriedly stopped him, saying that he was going to lead a team to meet General Yang, but Master Huang refused to agree, saying that the Bloody Hands had already helped the Anti-Union so much, and the commander should not be allowed to take risks. , Anti-Union doing this is disrespectful!

The two argued, and no one else could speak.

In the end, Tang Qiuli convinced Huang Xing that his troops were accustomed to long-distance raids and were familiar with fighting in mountains and jungles. In this regard, they had special training, intelligence networks all over the place and a cavalry brigade. It is obvious that it has an advantage over the troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

After hearing Tang Qiuli's words, his eyebrows were raised in surprise, and there is a cavalry brigade?This young man is becoming more and more incomprehensible, what surprises me about him!

In the end, it was decided that Tang Qiuli's Bloody Hand Regiment would go to meet General Yang, and the Anti-Japanese Federation would send a squad of soldiers from the guard company as guides. They traveled with the general many times and were familiar with General Yang's patrol route, so the matter was settled.

Tang Qiuli immediately made arrangements to lead the guards directly under him to set off first. Liu Chun's cavalry brigade followed up with a radio and kept an hour's march with him. Su Jingfeng's second brigade should carry more automatic weapons and medicines. Seven days of supplies, in addition, Liu Chun's artillery brigade allocated a mortar squadron under the command of Su Jingfeng, with more guns, Zhou Yushan, the deputy director of the logistics department, arranged sledges, and all marched as mules and horses, following the cavalry brigade, Keep a two-hour march with the cavalry brigade. All units should be careful to keep secrets. They are not allowed to fight. When encountering a large number of enemies, try to avoid contact. Small groups of enemies can be wiped out on the spot, so as to expose the whereabouts of the troops.

The troops are united by squadrons, and they come to the anti-union camps in turn to experience life, and conduct actual combat exercises with the anti-union fighters. All troops bring their own food and other consumables. They are never allowed to use a grain of rice or a handful of salt from the anti-union. Deputy Commander Liu and Chief of Staff Feng are responsible for this matter, and Li Honggang is responsible for contacting the Anti-Japanese Division Commander Huang Zhen. In short, after I come back, I will see a completely new army.

After giving the order, Tang Qiuli contacted the scattered units of the Special Operations Brigade and asked if there had been any fighting recently on the route General Yang returned.

Soon, the special warfare unit operating in a place called Fox Tower received information. Yesterday evening, there was a fierce battle here, and the gunshots rang out for more than three hours. According to the order, the troops were only monitoring on the spot and did not go into battle.

Tang Qiuli immediately found a place on the map where the fox was entangled. This place was the place General Yang must pass through on his way back to the camp. A checkpoint for the devils was stationed, a squadron of devils was stationed, and a company of the "Communist Suppression" army on the east side of Shao Benliang was assigned. The total force was about 280 people, and it was 180 miles away from the camp. He immediately ordered Qiuquan to order all the special operations units operating near Huhutao to gather near Huhutao and wait for his order.

The snow under the feet was swept away by the skis, and the wind was blowing in the ears, and the thick and tall pines fell behind them. Tang Qiuli led the guards directly under him, and had marched continuously for more than a hundred years. Miles.

On the way to Huhutao in an emergency, Tang Qiuli was so anxious that he wished to grow his wings and fly to the general. The general had only one guard platoon with him. Now the devils are adopting the tactics of splitting up and attacking in multiple ways, with Shao Benliang's troop of local snakes as the coordinator Eyes and ears, once the general is entangled by a group of devils, other devils from all walks of life will flock to him, and the general will be surrounded. With the simple weapons and equipment of the Anti-League, it is extremely dangerous, and his life is in danger!

He also thought, if he had a few helicopters, a burst of rockets in the air, and a burst of machine guns, he would surely blow up the little devil until he cried to his father and mother, beat the shit out of him, and the general sat in the engine room and floated away, wouldn't he? Extremely unrestrained!Only the devil was left staring at the toad's eyes, looking into the sky and sighing!

After thinking about it, he laughed at himself again, isn't he daydreaming? He suddenly thought that in history, at this time, General Yang Jingyu was leading the anti-union athletes, galloping between the white mountains and black waters, on the land of Kanto, killing the devils. The blood flow, the loss of soldiers and generals, and the sacrifice of generals are things that happened later!

Doesn't that mean that no matter how dangerous the general's situation is at this time, his life will not be in danger, and history will not be rewritten.

Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved, and began to think about taking this opportunity to deal a big blow to the little devil and Shao Benliang, and it would not be in vain to dispatch troops.
