Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1038: Changes in the 29th Corps

On the way to Kunming, Tang Qiuli was treated as spies by soldiers under the commander of the 29th Corps, Li Honggang, and was surrounded. The reason was very simple. Tang Qiuli asked questions and could not answer the password, so a

No matter what the situation, Shanhu and the special guards had to protect Tang Qiuli's safety as their first mission. When the soldiers of the 29th Corps surrounded them, the special guards naturally could not remain indifferent.

As soon as his eyes flashed, dozens of murderous officers were already blocking the way.

Especially the big black man, whose eyes were as wide as bells, and the heavy machine gun in his hand was loaded with bullets. There was chaos here, and more soldiers surrounded them. It could be seen that they were all from the same company. Tang Qiuli hurriedly

He signaled Shanhu and the special guards to put away their weapons. If they were accidentally injured by soldiers or had other accidents in their own unit, the joke would be a big one.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred soldiers surrounded them, with guns in their hands and loaded with bullets. They looked at Shanhu and dozens of special guards with vigilance. The atmosphere was tense and was about to explode. Tang Qiuli said helplessly: "

Everyone, put down your weapons and let your commander do the talking." In this case, even if he revealed his identity, no one would believe him.

A young man who looked like a captain and company commander said vigilantly: "Put down your weapons first, our regiment commander will be here soon." At Shanhu's signal, the special guards reluctantly put down the weapons in their hands, and the soldiers did not

To be polite, the weapons were taken away as soon as they came up. Tang Qiuli's special guards were handed over for the first time. This was the first time that the special guards felt aggrieved.

The sound of a car engine came from far and near. An off-road jeep, carrying a whirlwind, "squeaked" and stopped on the side of the road. A loud voice shouted: "Where is the spy? From Nanchang to here.

, I didn’t even see a shadow of a little devil, it’s not bad to catch a few spies, but these traitors should be shot and their heads should be used to get a reward.”

The soldiers surrounding Tang Qiuli and the special guards stepped aside, and a tall, stout colonel officer came over in a powerful manner. A typical Shandong man, Tang Qiuli turned around with a smile, and the colonel officer said

The stunned child took a closer look, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the division commander, Zhang Baozhu, commander of the 3rd brigade and 1st regiment of the 29th Corps of the ** Division, is here to report and ask for instructions from the division commander!"

"What? He's our teacher, and he's too young." "Oh no, he's in big trouble now. He pointed a gun at the teacher just now." "I said, Xiaodouzi, you don't think much of me either, so you just screamed.

"The soldiers were shouting." There was a commotion among the soldiers, and they were whispering among themselves. The captain, company commander and young soldier had sweat on their faces.

Zhang Baozhu was very embarrassed and said in a confused voice: "Master, commander, the soldiers don't know you and mistakenly thought you were a spy. I'm sorry, I'll put them in confinement later." Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang

, the soldiers did nothing wrong, why should they be detained? Okay, take me to your Commander Li."

Before getting into the car, he gently patted the bewildered little soldier on the shoulder and said, "Your name is Xiaodouzi. You are very good. If your regiment commander puts you in solitary confinement, young man, come to me and I will give you something."

Take it out, are we friends?" The convoy walked away, leaving behind a large group of soldiers who were suddenly in a dream.

Xiaodouzi suddenly shouted in surprise, "You all saw it. The teacher patted me on the shoulder and said he was my friend!" The soldiers laughed loudly. The company commander came over and said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, you are lucky.

There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the ** division. It is not easy for you to become a friend of the division commander. That is to say, in our ** division, if you put it in other teams, we will go out today without shooting more than a dozen people.

It’s not over yet.”

Zhang Baozhu's car was leading the way. Tang Qiuli was sitting in the bumpy and unstable car with a warm smile on his face, still immersed in the interesting scene with the soldiers just now. "You can see the big picture by looking at the small things."

Since the battle of Shangqiu, Henan Province, the strength of the Twenty-ninth Corps has been severely damaged, and there are almost no veterans left.

While resting in Haozhou, Huaibei, they were treated unfairly again. Chen Guofu and He Yingqin secretly worked hard to rub salt into the wounds of the soldiers. What Li Honggang took over was an army with low morale and a disorganized army.

The old 29th Army retains the designation of the 29th Army purely to preserve some of the blood of the old army commander.

In his mind, the 29th Corps, which was adapted from the original 29th Army of Song Zheyuan, could not compete with those directly under his direct subordinates in terms of number of soldiers, individual quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, concepts, combat, and tactical levels.

The Corps, Tang Qiusheng Corps, Feng Jiwu Corps, and Liu Tiehan's Northeastern Advance Command, these four established main corps are comparable.

If Tang Qiuli were to divide it, it should be slightly higher than the local garrison corps, but lower than the main field corps, between the position of the second-line field corps. If it were not in Yunnan, preparing for a decisive battle with the Japanese Southern China Expeditionary Force, Tang Qiuli would not

The 29th Corps was transferred from Nanchang, Jiangxi to the battlefield in Yunnan.

However, today, through contact with an ordinary soldier and an ordinary company, Tang Qiuli felt the changes in the 29th Corps. It was a completely reborn change. The spirit of the army took on a new look. Shandong was reorganized and Nanchang was stationed.

Li Honggang spent a lot of effort on this unit.

This made Tang Qiuli very pleased. "Li Honggang is a guy who refuses to admit defeat to his core." He secretly thought that in future battles, the 29th Corps should be used as the main force. This is recognition of Li Honggang.

, it is also a recognition of all the officers and soldiers of the 29th Corps.

In a lush forest, several army-green tents formed Li Honggang's regiment headquarters. Antennas stretched out from the tents. Li Honggang was not satisfied with the marching speed of the troops. He received a battle report from the division headquarters staff office.

During the battle, he learned that the other three participating regiments had arrived at their designated positions.

Only his own corps is still on the mountain road in western Guangxi, fighting against the transportation troops of the Logistics Department for a wide road. It is no wonder that the 29th Corps has the lowest degree of mechanization among the entire ** Division field corps.

The wheels of the troops and other regiments' cars are very fast, but the soldiers of his army use only one pair of feet to run.

"Commander Xin of the Third Brigade? Where is your brigade now? What? We have just arrived at that slope and have not yet entered Yunnan. No, the speed is too slow. Don't stress the difficulties to me. Aren't the same conditions for other brigades?

There will be no war if there are no cars? Let me tell you, the third brigade must be in Funing, Yunnan Province, to camp tonight. Otherwise, you can go to the Corps Headquarters yourself and explain whether you want our 29th Corps to be in reserve.

Team?"

When Tang Qiuli walked into the tent, Li Honggang was yelling at the walkie-talkie. Based on his understanding of Li Honggang, he was tepid in such an urgent situation when the Kwantung Army troops were pressing down in the Northeast.

This is a rare situation. It seems that not only the officers and soldiers of the 29th Corps are anxious, but also Li Honggang himself is afraid that he will not be able to become the main offensive force.

In fact, Tang Qiuli's plan was to let Li Honggang's regiment serve as a battle reserve. But now the enemy situation has changed. On the way, he received an emergency telegram from Long Yun. The Yunnan Army was violently attacked by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

In one day, many positions outside Kunming were lost.

The original plan of sticking to the two-day plan may not be realized. Vice Chairman Tang was asked to immediately issue an order to evacuate Kunming. Tang Qiuli could even imagine that Long Yun was turning around in a hurry. The original plan to abandon Kunming was based on

Both groups of Shouyi's troops in the temple rushed towards Kunming. The deployment of the ** division's troops was not completed, the battle of Nanning was not over, and the Yunnan army temporarily avoided the front line.

Now, the four Japanese divisions that had arrived in Yunnan earlier were the first to launch an attack on Kunming, and they had the opportunity to defeat this Japanese army first. The prerequisite was that the Yunnan Army would hold on in Kunming for at least two days, but Long Yun was now complaining endlessly.

, making Tang Qiuli feel anxious.

After receiving Long Yun's telegram, a combat plan was basically formed in his mind, and he stopped the staff from saluting, "Commander Li, who are you getting so angry at? It will hurt your health!" Tang Qiu

Li Xiao said with a smile.

Li Honggang turned around suddenly, his face full of surprise, "Commander! When did you come to me? The report from the Staff Office said that the division commander is in Qujing, didn't it?" Tang Qiuli stepped forward and held Li Honggang's hand, looking at it carefully.

After a while, he said: "We are dealing with some things in Wuming. Chang Feng and the others arrived in Qujing early. I happened to pass by and was treated as a spy by your soldiers, so I came to complain to you, the commander. Well, I am in good spirits."

Li Honggang looked at the red-faced Zhang Baozhu who followed him in surprise, and asked: "Baozhu, what's going on?" Tang Qiuli briefly told the story, and Li Honggang also laughed, "The dignified National Government

The vice chairman of the Military Commission, the second-level general commander of the ** Division with nearly one million troops, was captured by an ordinary soldier under my command, which is big news."

After Zhang Baozhu and his staff, who were eager to find a crack in the ground, exited, Li Honggang put away his smile and asked: "Commander, do you have a new task? Leave it to our corps to complete." Tang Qiuli nodded, and Li Honggang became energetic.

, looking at him eagerly.

Tang Qiuli couldn't help but laugh again and said: "Why, you still have that unwillingness to admit defeat. The 29th Corps has never had a combat mission. You, the commander of the Corps, must have itchy hands. I heard you shouting on the phone,

Are you trying to seize the main attack mission?"

Li Honggang's face straightened and he replied: "Commander, the main force was fought in the battle. We have the old foundation of the only brigade, and the officers who came out can do their jobs independently. I, the first brigade commander, can't pull back too much."

No? You can rest assured that the 29th Corps can take on any difficult task."
