Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 222 Looking Southwest to Taihang (3)

The North China Army Division, with more than 46,000 troops, left Shanhaiguan in a mighty manner and passed through Lulong in East Hebei. While marching in East Hebei, the security team affiliated with the East Hebei Anti-Communist Autonomous Government, who were better behaved than cats, passed by

In Shanhaiguan

After a severe beating, this gang of traitorous armed forces learned the lesson. Wherever the troops went, they not only did not create any difficulties, but also provided a large amount of supplies. I wish these gangs of thieves could leave their ground as soon as possible so that they could sleep peacefully.

Sleep.

When crossing the Luanhe River, the local security team prepared boats in advance. The formation of the ** division's marching team was also scary enough. The vanguard was more than 4,000 horses from the Second Cavalry Detachment. Behind them was an invisible force.

The three columns that arrived at the border were in neat order and had high morale.

Local people said that the cannons alone lasted a whole night. After crossing the Luanhe River, they passed through Wuqing in Tianjin and entered Langfang in Hebei Province. In Langfang, the troops collectively changed their uniforms, wearing new military uniforms of the same color.

Senior commanders all had military ranks, and the soldiers were not too interested in the weapons and equipment supplemented by the government.

The 38 cap in his hand is much better than the official rifle. However, the soldiers still like the Czech light machine gun. It is much better than the little devil's crooked gun. The light machine guns in the troops have all been replaced by the Czech type.

, captured the little devil’s

All the crooked things were left to the Communist Party. A deputy chief of staff of the 29th Army in charge of ordnance almost fainted with joy. This batch of equipment was designated by the Ministry of Military Affairs for the North China Army to re-equip. In today's terms, it was

Came down wearing a hat.

The officers of the 29th Army were all used to being poor. When they saw so much brand-new equipment, they drooled with greed. However, even if they were brave enough, they did not dare to move. Now, the ** division has replaced their equipment.

, were all left to the 29th Army. This was simply an unexpected windfall!

Tang Qiuli had his own plan. The 29th Army was not the direct line of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, but the old foundation of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. The central government did not treat them well. They had all the equipment and supplies. It was said that the North China War

After the end of the war, many troops of the 29th Army were only equipped with large blades. They were helpless and poor.

The equipment of our own army will soon be eliminated, especially when the American submachine guns are shipped to Tianjin, another 30,000 rifles will be eliminated. Giving these equipment to the 29th Army can also increase the strength of the Chinese Army.

Tang Qiuli was not stingy in fighting the Japanese.

On a deeper level, after all, my troops are nominally under the control of Song Zheyuan. If I have a good relationship with him, I will have fewer constraints in North China. I have given him so many weapons and equipment. How can I be grateful?

, if you are interested in a certain place, you have to rely on the Hebei-Cha Political Affairs Committee.

As expected, Song Zheyuan received the report from his deputy chief of staff. He was stunned at first. He couldn't believe his ears. These days, where there are guns, there are people, and where there are people, there is territory. It was unexpected that Commander Tang was so generous.

, this is equipment for tens of thousands of people!

It's a big piece of meat for anyone. Sometimes, for dozens of guns, two powerful local factions can beat each other to a bloody blow. This young division commander belongs to the upstart of the national government, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

Beloved, just by looking at the change of uniforms for his troops this time, you can see how favored he is. There is no need to flatter yourself, and there is no need to beg for a motley crew like yourself.

Thinking of this, Song Zheyuan felt sad in his heart. When had the 29th Army ever been treated like this? Facing the tens of thousands of Japanese troops eyeing around Pingjin, he often felt powerless in his heart. With poor equipment and no advantage in troops, the North China War was about to begin.

From the beginning, the fate of the 29th Army was predictable, which was one of the main reasons why he tolerated the Japanese in every possible way.

Now, with such a large amount of equipment left to him, the strength of the army will be greatly improved. With a stronger waist, he will be able to stand up to the Japanese for a while. After all, strength often speaks for itself.

I originally thought that this Mr. Tang must be an unruly, high-minded, arrogant, and difficult-to-control young upstart. Now it seems that this person is very methodical in doing things, understands people's hearts, is generous in his actions, and has the demeanor of a gentleman.

, is a person worth associating with.

In addition, Song Zheyuan was also very relieved that Tang Qiuli beat Yin Rugeng so hard. He was often angry with this hard-core traitor. This guy, relying on the support of the Japanese behind him, kept making unreasonable demands, but he did not dare to go too far.

Offend, lest the Japanese get involved and make the situation in North China more complicated.

Now, the military commander breathed a sigh of relief for him. After receiving the information that the Jidong Security Corps was wiped out, Song Zheyuan drank a lot of wine happily. He also deeply hated Yin Rugeng, a big traitor. In his heart, Song Zheyuan was still very fond of him.

National sense of justice, these two factors combined, he had an extremely good impression of Tang Qiuli, even though the two have not met yet.

After the troops stopped briefly in Langfang, they crossed the Yongding River and headed towards Zhuozhou. Along the way, many people lined the streets to watch. I haven't seen such a mighty Chinese ** team for many years. Look at these great young men.

Just looking at it will cheer up the Chinese people.

I heard that this unit came after fighting the Japanese in the Northeast. The common people spontaneously took out the good things at home and stuffed them into the pockets of the soldiers. This scene made the officers of the Red Army system seem to

It's back to the passionate scene when we were in the Soviet area.

It was the first time that the soldiers received such a warm welcome from the fellow villagers, and they felt very proud. They had fought bloody battles with the Japanese in the Northeast, and the fellow soldiers had not forgotten them. After entering Shanhaiguan, the faint feeling of leaving home was swept away.

I have endless energy in my body!

In addition, along the march, the troops maintained strict discipline and strictly implemented the three major disciplines and seven points of attention. There was not a single incident of harassing the people. Instead, they eliminated several groups of bandits that had been harming the village for many years, and solved the banditry problem for the villagers for many years.

The reputation of the North China Army, like the unstoppable spring breeze, spread along the marching route of the troops, and soon spread in Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, for

The troops' actions in enemy-occupied areas created a good mass base, and many enthusiastic young people from North China came to join the army, which rapidly expanded the strength of the troops and became the backbone of the war against Japan in North China.

Although the Japanese division marched with great fanfare, the Japanese troops around Pingjin did not move at all. On several occasions, Tang Qiuli deliberately let the troops choose marching routes guarded by Japanese troops, and large groups of troops passed under the noses of the Japanese.

They didn't see the Japs taking any action, but the soldiers were itching in their hearts, wishing they could fire a few shells over and take away the Japs' kennel. Tang Qiuli secretly became wary. The Japs were so tolerant to him, so they must not be ready for a full-scale war.

Preparation, their intelligence agency cannot possibly not know the origin of their troops.

Tang Qiuli adopted this kind of marching method to a large extent to show off his force. It was also a warning and deterrence to the little devils. Don't act rashly. The 29th Army is not the only Chinese armed force in North China. There are also the Japanese Army.

A well-equipped and well-trained force.

The Japanese wanted to make some moves, so they had to think carefully. In his heart, he very much hoped to prevent the July 7th Incident from happening. This would save hundreds of millions of kind-hearted Chinese civilians from being devastated by war, and they would not have to fight against the Japanese aggressors.

, and made such a big sacrifice.

He led tens of thousands of athletes to enter the customs for this purpose, to contain the Japanese invaders' ambitions as much as possible in the Pingjin area and prevent the war from spreading to the Central Plains.

The troops passed Zhuozhou, entered the Taihang Mountains via Laiyuan, followed the marching route of the southward corps, and on June 4, 1936, met up with a detachment of Liu Chun's cavalry who came to meet them, and entered the Huangyadong area.

Leaving the Northeast in early May, after more than a month of marching, during which we also fought several beautiful annihilation battles, we finally successfully arrived at the Huangyadong base area, ending the strategic shift of more than a thousand kilometers.

The comrades who had been separated for more than a month felt as if they were separated from each other and hugged each other excitedly after meeting. Especially Liu Tiehan. Ever since Tang Qiuli chose the plan to fight all the way from Jinzhou, he has been on tenterhooks every day, fearing that the troops would encounter

Something unexpected happened.

Now, the troops are safe and sound, the soldiers are in a very high mood, full of fighting spirit, and everyone can see the excitement in their hearts.

In the evening, the troops held a large dinner to celebrate the victory and rendezvous. Huangya Cave was full of laughter and laughter. Huangya Cave, which was originally a bit empty, immediately became full of vitality after the arrival of tens of thousands of soldiers. The thousands of new soldiers recruited locally,

Seeing so many troops arriving, they were all dumbfounded. Now they believed what the instructors said about how powerful their troops were. They surrounded the cannons of various calibers and caressed them with envy.

At this time, it is the best season of the year in the Taihang Mountains. Dinner is in the morning, mountain flowers are blooming, willows are blooming, and soldiers are everywhere inside and outside Huangya Cave. The soldiers of the southward corps who entered the pass early are envious.

Surrounding the comrades who arrived later, they listened to their vivid descriptions of the battles along the way.

Especially when I heard that in the Huludao area, more than 10,000 Japs were annihilated, they all smacked their lips in regret, blaming themselves for their bad luck and not being able to catch up with the final battle in the Northeast. It has been months since then, and every day is training.

When I sleep, all the bones in my body become rusty.

Even though there are so many troops stationed in Huangyadong, there is still a lot of free space. It will not be a problem for another 40 to 50 thousand people. In an open space in the willow forest, a small river flows quietly, and the air is filled with

Under the fragrance of green grass, all the senior officers of the Blood Hand gathered together, drinking, talking and laughing.

After being robbed by the bandit leader Liu Heiqi, the women who were mobilized by Xiaoling and voluntarily stayed in the base area were busy in and out. After such a long time, they have integrated into their new life. The shame and suffering in the past have all disappeared.

They have gradually moved away from them.

They re-evaluated Tang Qiuli with novel eyes. This heroic young man was able to command so many people and was loved by these iron-blooded soldiers. However, under his handsome appearance, his eyebrows seemed to be

There was a kind of sadness that couldn't be resolved, and why was the beautiful girl who accompanied him missing?

With women's delicacy and sensitivity, they knew that this young man must have had a very unusual experience?
