Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 225: Sneak Attack (1)

This was a very long telegram. In the telegram, Chairman Chiang encouraged him very much and called him the Qiancheng of the country. It seemed that Tang Qiuli’s loyal words were very useful. He told the Vice President of the Executive Yuan at Shanhaiguan

The investment made by the Secretary-General has obviously paid off.

This man must have a lot of good words. Chairman Chiang allowed him to import weapons and equipment independently. However, he had to register it with the relevant government departments. He said that this case was an unprecedented one in the history of the Republic of China. He was doing good.

Cherish yourself.

As for asking for a piece of territory in North China, it is not a problem to discuss it with Song Zheyuan. The powerful military faction does not have its own territory. This is also the usual practice. It only needs to be reported to the Executive Yuan for registration.

Chairman Chiang also emphasized that the purpose of not limiting the establishment of the *** division was to allow Tang Qiuli to establish a force capable of guarding the northwest, especially Shaanxi. The Central Army could not always stay in northern Shaanxi to suppress the communist bandits. In the future, northern Shaanxi would suppress the bandits.

The heavy responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the *** division. The implication is that you, Tang Qiuli, recruit as many troops as possible. In order to wipe out the communist bandits, the more troops the better.

This gave Tang Qiuli some reassurance. The scale of the army's development was not restricted, and he was not afraid of saying that he was supporting his troops with self-respect.

In the telegram, Chairman Chiang only gave the *** division half a year of rest and recuperation. In January and February of 1937, it must go to the front line of northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communists. It was probably the current situation of the Northeast Army that enabled him to understand Tang Qiuli

The reason is that after all, the officers and soldiers of the ** Division are also from the Northeast.

Tang Qiuli chuckled to himself, half a year is enough. In a few months, the Xi'an Incident will break out. By then, you will not urge me to go to northern Shaanxi.

What surprised and surprised him the most was that in a few sentences in the telegram, Chairman Chiang proposed that according to the practice of the Central Army, there should be a political training office within the ** division headquarters. Regarding the appointment of the director of the political training office,

As for the candidates for the post, the Ministry of Military and Government of the National Government has already selected and deployed appropriate personnel and will be rushing to the North China Army Division to take up their posts in the near future.

It seems like an understatement, but in fact, this is Chairman Chiang's most powerful move. He placed his informant in the military division and has a function similar to that of supervising the army. It seems that Chairman Chiang is not at ease with himself.

All the previous benefits were all for this purpose, and the exchange conditions proposed have given you so many benefits. You will not refuse this request, right? Besides, this is the practice of the Central Army. Can your North China Army make an exception?

Tang Qiuli secretly exclaimed that the old man was very powerful. This was most likely He Yingqin's idea, and the stumbling block came soon after. All the political training directors who were in the various armies at that time had the background of military commanders or central commanders.

There are many people in the military command, and their hands and eyes can reach the highest level of the government.

Therefore, no matter their military rank or background, the military commanders of their units are very afraid of them.

Tang Qiuli's head was swollen. He had no reason to refuse the director of the political training department sent by the Military and Political Department. If he refused, it would mean that he had second thoughts. Not only would he not be able to reap the benefits he had gained before, but he would also cause trouble.

Big trouble is coming.

However, there are now quite a few Communist Party members in the military division, and they all serve as officers at all levels. If the director of the political training department comes and finds that this is a Communist Party den, the chaos will be revealed. Besides,

Well, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are now incompatible, fighting to the death, getting along together, just kidding!

Tang Qiuli's head was a few sizes bigger. The old man's move was so powerful that it almost killed him. From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't like the Kuomintang. In terms of personal quality and firmness of belief,

There was such a huge difference between the two parties that Tang Qiuli even thought of sending Qiuquan's special detachment to kill the incoming political training director on the way and shift the responsibility to the Japanese.

Tang Qiuli did not disclose these ideas to anyone in the ** division. Before going to Peking, he held a meeting and assigned four tasks. First, Deputy Division Commander Liu Tiehan was in charge of recruiting a large number of troops. Investigation Division Director Shen

Jun is responsible for the political review, which must be strict. Second, deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng is responsible for establishing an intelligence network covering North China to the Shandong Peninsula and the Central Plains. This matter should be started as soon as possible.

The third is that the Minister of Logistics, Zhang Quan, is responsible for purchasing materials according to the plan and establishing a large material reserve center in the Huangyadong area. The more, the better. The fourth is that Wang Xu's arsenal will start construction immediately, mainly producing shell gun bullets and ammunition reserves.

By the end of this year, the reserve of 10 million bullets, grenades and artillery shells of various types will be completed. At the beginning of 2020, the arsenal's production capacity will reach an average daily output of 100,000 rounds. The required raw materials will be supplied by the Logistics Department.

.

The day after the meeting, he led a squadron of Shanhu's guard brigade, more than 500 soldiers, all riding horses, leaving Huangyadong and heading towards Peiping. Accompanying him was Zhao Yu, the chief of staff.

There are 18 total staff members in the Hehe Staff Office.

Half a day's journey away from Huangya Cave, the troops were marching in a ravine. Behind the troops, there was suddenly the sound of horse hooves being chased by a large number of cavalry. I could vaguely see the dust flying and the sound of hoofbeats shaking the sky. Judging from the momentum, there should be a cavalry battalion.

of military strength.

The guard brigade, under the order of Shan Hu, quickly seized the commanding heights on both sides and occupied the powerful terrain. They were equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns, as well as mortars and heavy machine guns. After the reorganization of the ** division was completed, the commander was directly under the guard and expanded.

The division headquarters guard brigade was formed. In order to strengthen the regiment-level establishment, the number of troops reached more than 2,300, divided into four squadrons, each with more than 500 people.

Among them, there is also the very mysterious division commander's special guard, with more than 200 people in total. Shan Hu also serves as the captain of the special guard. This special guard was established on the basis of the original guard directly under the commander. There are 70,000 people in the total force.

Selected from among many people, all qualities represent the highest level of ** masters.

The team members are all composed of officers, and the youngest one is also a second lieutenant. Being able to join the special guard is the dream of every soldier in the ** division. Even if you are a top soldier, as long as you enter the special guard, you will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant immediately.

Therefore, the division headquarters guard brigade with the special guards as the core has shown amazing military quality. If calculated in terms of combat power, it is capable of eating up the Japanese two regiments. Now, in a hurry, the temporary firepower point,

Individual soldier bunkers, etc., have begun to take shape.

Tang Qiuli and the staff members of the General Staff Office were tightly covered by the soldiers of the special guard and moved to a safe area.

Amid the billowing smoke, a group of cavalry rushed into the valley. Shan Hu observed carefully with a telescope. He suddenly laughed. The cavalry behind him were his comrades.

These cavalrymen are soldiers from the First Battalion of the Second Cavalry Brigade of Tong Batu. They are all the strongest Mongolian men. In the entire Second Cavalry Brigade, the First Battalion is also a fist force. The lieutenant colonel, the commander of the cavalry battalion, saw Tang Qiuli.

A neat military salute: "Reporting to the division commander, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade has come to escort the division commander on the orders of Deputy Commanders Liu and Tang. Please give instructions! Battalion Commander Siri Gureng." His Chinese was a bit hard to listen to.

There is a charm.

It turned out that after Tang Qiuli left, the more Liu Tiehan and Qiu Sheng thought about it, the more uneasy they became. It was impossible for the little devil not to know about such a big movement of troops entering the border, but his silence was a bit abnormal. Considering how much the little devil hated the division commander, he did not make any move.

, then what’s weird?

Thinking of this, the two of them felt uncertain. The little devil could use any insidious tricks. They immediately sent a cavalry battalion to urgently chase Tang Qiuli.

After the two armies joined together, the number of troops was nearly a thousand. Because they were all cavalry, the marching speed was greatly accelerated. Two days later, they had reached the edge of the Taihang Mountains and entered Hebei. In the evening, near Zijingguan, a man named Zhanggezhuang

Camp in a small mountain village.

This is a village in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains. A small river flows slowly beside the village. The mountains are not high and covered with weeds and low bushes. The evening wind blows through, bringing the fragrance of wild flowers.

There are seventy or eighty households in the village. The topography and landform here are very different from the mountainous areas in the Northeast. At least it lacks tall and straight pine trees, graceful white birches, and the fragrance of rosin, but it has a different charm.

The people in the village were panicked when they saw so many soldiers, still dressed in adult attire. Every door and window was closed, and some people who were close to the hillside hurriedly ran up the mountain. Judging from their figures and clothes, they were all young people.

women.

Tang Qiuli understood immediately that this was a village that had been harassed by the corrupt troops of the Communist Party. The people here still had fresh memories of the evil deeds of the Communist Party, but they were unarmed. Otherwise, perhaps they would have been greeted by the enemy.

It's a burst of local guns and cannons. There is nothing we can do about it. The country's military discipline has been corrupted. This is a chronic disease.

He ordered the troops not to enter the village and camped outside the village. The people in the village waited for a long time but did not see these Qiu Ba entering the village to catch chickens and chase geese, knocking down doors to find women, and they were all very surprised. Could it be that these gangs *

*Have you changed your gender?

A few brave old people slowly came over. After talking with Tang Qiuli, they saw the mental state of the soldiers. They would rather bury pots and cook outside the village than harass the people. They knew that this was not a good idea.

The same thing happened, the people in the village called over and insisted on inviting Chief Tang to the village for a meal and a drink, but Tang Qiuli politely declined.

Seeing the amiable and polite appearance of the commander, several old people were moved to tears, saying that they had never seen such a good army in their old lives. Tang Qiuli thought to himself, in the future, this will be the

You have your own territory, and you still have to hang around in this area! How can you do it without leaving a good reputation? Offending the common people, no matter how great you are, you can't do it!

Some young people in the village saw that these soldiers were indeed different from those they had seen before. Those who were bolder came over to talk to the soldiers, and they became familiar with them while chatting. They even helped the soldiers feed their horses.

.

Taking this opportunity, the officers began to publicize the glorious achievements of the ** division and the army's policy towards the common people. More and more people gathered, and some brave girls also came over. These soldiers, in front of their eyes

, showing a different world.

It was late at night, and the mountain village was quiet. The soldiers who had been marching for a day all fell asleep sweetly. Only the war horses were eating fresh green grass and snoring happily from time to time, but the mountain village seemed even more peaceful.

There was no wind blowing, and suddenly there was the sound of swaying vegetation in the bushes on the hillside, and black shadows quietly moved toward the soldiers' camp.
